[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha, OP, I know what you mean about the DCUM pearl-clutchers and their "rules" about this stuff. I think of this board too and laugh sometimes when someone I know does something that the harpies would get all twisted up about. :)

In seriousness, all these judgy comments about "gift grabs" and "greedy mothers" are pretty gross. They're mean in that these comments are largely coming from privileged UMC women who have plenty of resources to splash out and indulge themselves, which is hardly true for many or even most new mothers in this country; and they're sad because they show just how brainwashed most of us have been by the anti-parent, anti-family, do-it-all-on-your-own viewpoint pushed by a certain segment of our society who want to keep most of us fighting for scraps and fighting each other rather than building a society that supports us all. Giving gifts and, as another PP said, showing support and joy for those about to become parents, or to add another child to their family, is pretty universal (and yes I have non-American relatives who do this).

Reread the OP’s post. It’s for a second baby, not a new mother. On another note, your mentality that you are owed something is never going to pan well for you. [/quote]
