[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are maybe feeling stressed about having what you need for the baby and that’s why you are thinking “If you are going to spend money on baby gear give it to us!!!”

This is probably your nesting hormones kicking in.  It’s pretty common to feel stressed about having everything ready, and if you haven’t had your shower yet then it makes sense that you are spinning your wheels mentally bc you can’t go out and buy everything until you see what you actually end up getting, so instead you are stuck not being able to fully nest.

Accept that this is not an offensive thing for MIL to do, you will probably get most of what you need at the shower and you don’t need much anyway![/quote]

Everyone needs to stop taking their baggage out on OP. OP appears to be having a pretty normal hormonal reaction and neither OP not MIL are throwing up red flags. Lots of people are projecting their own MIL/DIL issues onto the situation.

OP, your emotional reaction is understandable but likely a bit exaggerated. For now, assume MIL has good intentions![/quote]
