[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are expecting our first, and likely only child, in a couple of months. She has been going way overboard with super expensive purchases or a ton of things we likely will never use. We had the normal big expenses like crib, stroller, lounge chair, etc., but we paid more because it had to certified to be free of toxins. She has put most things on the registry, but she wants to buy a $1200 bassinet, on top of a $300 bassinet we are asking for as a gift. She currently has two types of swings, two bassinets, 3 different strollers, etc. We live in a 1,700sqft. condo, and I don’t know how we will store all of this stuff. It’s like she’s shopping for twins. We may try fir a second child, but due to her age ( 37), we likely will be one and done. I want her to be happy and we aren’t hurting for money, but I feel she’s been very excessive. Can I bring it up or just keep my mouth shut?[/quote]

Aw, I'm the same age as your wife and also a ex nanny, expecting our first child. Congrats!

I'm the opposite in that I'm trying to be really minimalist even though we have the space for stuff. Maybe ask her to narrow it down or how she expects to store everything? She does have experience with kiddos and baby gear, so I'm guessing she might be nervous she won't have what she needs or is plain excited. Do you think she'd be open to you helping her narrow down the necessities? [/quote]
