[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my niece was 19, married, pregnant and didn’t have a lot of money I would be getting her whatever I could buy that she wanted. Babies cost money. Diapers, wipes, clothing, bottles, etc... are necessities, not frivolous. I am overly generous[b] to a fault [/b]and definitley[b] go above and beyond,[/b] especially if others are in need. OP claims to have financial resources, why wouldn’t you help out by buying her a baby item? Asking about a baby item is different than fishing for money. Answer her question then ask what she is still missing off her registry that she really needs. Step up for the baby’s sake.[/quote]

Did you notice that you said giving is a fault of yours, and you do too much?  That means something.

Did you notice OP already gave a ton of stuff?  This woman is married.  She made a CHOICE to begin a family.  It is her responsibility (along with her spouse) to support said family.  A gift is supposed to be simply a little something extra.  This is not OP's responsibility.  Shame on you for trying to guilt OP into giving more than she already has.[/quote]
