[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t have a baby shower or share my registry but I had like 3. They are free to start, often come with gifts and then you can use the “completion discount” even if no one has bought anything. I’m strongly considering having a fake second child to buy toddler clothes.

So if she did share it, it’s probably because someone asked for one, and she put a bunch of other stuff on there for the completion discount. Or maybe because grandparents asked about big sibling gifts or something. She shouldn’t have shared it with anyone else, but with a third on the way you should try to extend as much grace as possible.

Alternatively, she is just from a culture where parties come with a strong expectation of gifts. That’s not how I was brought up, but I think it is a thing more among working class people with tighter entertaining budgets so I’m not going to judge. You’re under no obligation to buy anything at all. If you feel like the party is gift-centric, you can politely decline. [/quote]

Both great things to consider.[/quote]
