[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

How would you take it if your MIL is buying items off your registry for her home only. She doesn’t mention buying any gifts for you to use. I will be a stay at home mom also so my baby wouldn’t be staying at her home that long and I live close to her. I also never mentioned having her look after my baby and if I happen to decide to go back to work, I would hire a nanny.

Thanks for all your responses.[/quote]

She's setting things up at her place with similar items baby will have at home. Also with items she knows you approve of. Sounds great to me.[/quote]

I'm a GP.  It's only great if those items are also purchased for the baby's house.  GP and special relationship people usually buy the big ticket items for the baby house.  Some are usually not on the registry like a crib.  So if MIL buys a pack n play for her house then who buys the pack n play for OP house?  Crib, mattress, Stroller, car seat, extra carseat base, load leg thing,  bassinet?

People often ignore the registry for a shower and post birth gifts.  So the GP should really have a close working relationship with the couple on big ticket and key needed stuff.    I doubt OP posted over a Sophie the Giraffe.  SIL and I amazed at how many pop up as gifts.  Baby gets a herd.[/quote]
