Entitled chicks and their Baby/Bridal Showers

[SheHateMe]

I need to rant.


Fuck damn....

I have a cousin who is about to have her second child. I'm tired of her ass complaining both on Facebook and in person to family members that she isn't getting enough shit from her Baby registry

"I don't even feel like going to the store to write down things to put on the registry if I'm not going to even get them...."

Really?! Why have a damn kid if you can't afford to get that expensive shit you want from YOUR BABY registry?!

Here are some of the things she has listed:

• $800 Crib
• $200 Breast Pump
• Bottles (specifically "Playtex" brand )
• Clothes and TONS of em! "Osh Kosh or Baby Gap preferred,pls"
• Truckloads of Diapers
• Baby Swing
• Walker
• Toys

The list goes on. She was just going off just now in my Grandma's kitchen about how people are getting her stuff she doesn't need/want or the "wrong stuff" for her baby's shower.


And she has the audacity to ask only for things from a specific brand. My mom dressed me in Osh Kosh as a baby...but guess what? She BOUGHT that shit for me!


I've experienced the same annoying behavior from Brides to be, too.



People are taking this whole Baby/Wedding registry stuff to the extreme.

Ugh, I'm just not going to go. I'll send like two outfits or something. That's it.

Sorry, Sis.

It takes a special kind of asshole to complain about free stuff they get.

Tell her the baby comes with a built in breast pump. Its called a mouth

Tell her she can save bundles of money using cloth diapers.

EDIT: Or better yet buy her a pack and claim each one counts for 20 since it is reusable.

Change your title before you get an infraction.

Buy what you think is needed for the baby and if she get's mad because it isn't exactly what she asked for tell her to get lost.

Also, it could be the pregnancy that's causing her to be this way (I doubt it).

I agree. People like that piss me off. One shouldn't request shit and should be thankfull they get anything. It may suck that you have doubles of some shit and have to exchange them but, that is life so move on. I wouldn't check some fucken registry to buy someone a baby gift. I would just find something nice and that is it. My wife would be the same way about it as I do.

My GF has a friend who just had a kid. The friend didnt ask for any clothes in her baby shower. She craigslisted and bought all the baby clothes second hand. Her reasoning is that kids in the first few years grow up so fast that its stupid to buy new clothing when you have to get rid of them a few months later. The only clothing she bought new for the baby was for an occasion like pictures or for when family visits on a holiday.

better?

 

[randomrogue]

Second child? I'm not sure I've seen this ever. First child I get. Second child though?!

That's a sensible woman. My sister has a friend that if it isn't a brand name item her son isn't wearing it.

 

[RedRooster]

That poor child.

 

[Krazy4Real]

LOL!

That's just plain retarded. Babies spill food and get everything dirty too. Such a waste of $$$

 

[Rakehellion]

Buy the bitch a pacifier. And maybe one for the baby too

Bitches be trippin'

I give diapers for baby showers, no exceptions. I know they need them, I know they won't have enough, and I know they won't care about what brand they are. Plus, $50 of diapers can fill a car trunk, so you get a lot for your money.

 

[SheHateMe]

I'm contemplating just sending her a gift card for $30. I don't have a child of my own so I can't fathom spending $800 on a crib.

She has another kid already, so I am wondering why she can just use the old crib. She probably doesn't believe in hand-me-downs.

 

[Mixolydian]

I thought baby showers were only given when you have your first child? Isn't it understood that toys/cribs/clothes etc. are passed down to the next child?

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Doesn't she have a bunch of stuff from the last kid?

Be quiet younger siblings: any downsides from hand-me-downs are balanced by your parents not being complete n00bs.

I think because every year, the manufacturers come out with MORE SAFETY FEATURES so if you don't have the latest and greatest, you're a BAD MOTHER who wants to KILL YOUR CHILDREN.

Some people watch too much daytime TV. That said, the cribs & toys we grew up with probably couldn't be legally sold today.

 

[Fingolfin269]

So I guess the old crib for the first child isn't good enough for the second? Or she gave it away?

It is my guess she probably never had a crib for her first baby because nobody could afford the one on her first baby registry
