[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you spent $700 on a stroller you’re an idiot. In terms of your IL’s that’s kind of cheap but I’d be interested in how they view you as a DIL. [/quote]

Oh please - walk into any library in the suburbs in this area and it’s filled to the brim with Uppababy vistas. That sentiment is not shared with the masses here.[/quote]

So. That isn't the norm and it is stupid as heck. How dare op assume they have to buy her the Mercedes of the stroller world. Entitled much op? Yes, $100 is low but don't ever mention it. That would be so tacky.

My ils did something similar. I had twins and they insisted they wanted to buy cribs. Grandma had died and left money to pay for them.  My ils are well off. They went ballistic when they saw how expensive cribs were and thqt they had to buy mattresses too. They took their anger out on me and I had been on bed rest for an extended time. We didn't have any input and didn't even try. They bought the cheapest cribs and mattresses they could find and were angry about it every single day. We never asked them to do this and grandma paid for most of it. They spent a fortune on everything else in their lives and spent approx $350 for two barely functional cribs that were recalled within a year. We never said a word. [/quote]
