[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. Accidentally embedded my post in the quote. Damn iphone.[/quote]

I am the PP to whom you responded. The MIL said she would buy a glider, and said the one that was chosen was too expensive. So, the choices are to pick a cheaper one, or the couple buy it themselves. To complain because the MIL didn't want to spend what the DIL wanted her to spend is entitled, in my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. If it were my MIL, I would have started a dialogue about what she wanted to spend/ how much is acceptable, and worked with that. It could be that MIL doesn't have current info about what these things cost. The DIL could always supplement some of her own money to buy the glider she wants, while still appreciating the gift rather than complaining about things not going exactly her way. [/quote]

+1. This! I have a dear friend who just had a baby. For her baby shower, I was planning to spend $60-100 on a gift. Most of the things on her registry were well out of my price range. I have since splurged on other items that I don't need. Point is, the glider was more than the MIL was comfortable spending. Either find a cheaper one or buy it yourself. NBD.[/quote]

I agree, but why wait till the baby is almost here to say that? She's obviously known for sometime that it wasn't in Her price range. The mom to be has other shit to worry about right now. Rude timing.[/quote]
