What's so special about the crib?


That and stroller/recliner are for family and the bff to get. I mean everyone knows that!


Nobody knows that. You seem oddly invested in this idea that “everyone” must know something that you are just making up.

Then why was it on the registry?

Are you the ungracious friend? Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

OP didn't buy the crib. Read the thread. Don't make things up that aren't there. FFS.

The OP didn't buy the crib. Why are people making this up?


And even if she did...it's not a big deal.

OP, host the shower and then drop the friend.

NP. I have never heard this.

Agree with all the pps that any gift already spoken for should NOT be on the registry. Given OPs update that this is the wine friend, I would back away from this friendship. She and her family sound bat sh!t crazy.

Yep that was me. Same friend too.

NP. OMG. The friend who hinted around that your house would be the ideal place to host her son's birthday party, so she offered it? Please don't tell me you are hosting the shower, too. But that seems unlikely, since she already has a kid so wouldn't need expensive baby things, plus it would be tacky as all get out to have a shower. So maybe it's a different poster with a similar awful friend,

They are idiots. If they were to go together to buy a gift then it should not have been put on a public registry. The stupidly of your friend is not your problem. Give the gift and to hell with the idiots.

You fix it by dropping the 'friend'.

The only person who overstepped is any person who said anything other than "thank you" to OP's generous gift.
