Good Morning Lovely Ladies, I know that my topic is kind of vague and I am sorry about that. DH and I spent HOURS researching the type of car seat we want our child to be in. WE have registered for it and an additional base for my baby shower.. My MIL last night mentioned to me that if she does not receive a base at my shower she is going to go purchase whatever car she she wants (not an infant carrier but one that is from infant to booster seat) . I tried telling her that her son and I did the research that we did for a reason and this is the type of car seat we want the baby in for the time being (She is going to be watching the baby 1 day a week for us). She looked at me and said but if I get the one that the car seat lady at the hospital recommends it will be fine. I was like I understand that but we did hours of research and this is what we want...
My Question for you ladies is, is it A. Rude of her to expect people to be buying things for her at my shower (we have the car seat and 1 additional base for DH's car on the registry), and B. Can I or rather D tell her I dont care what any one at the hospital says, this is the type of car seat we want our child to be in when you are watching her please go buy the base for your car. The base is about $100 which I am pretty sure is on par for every other car seat base that is out there. Any thoughts or advise on how to approach this topic would be great.
When I told this to DH last night he looked at me and was like, why would people be buying things for my mom at your shower? what is she thinking, and then changed the subject. But the tone in his voice was very annoyed as neither of his parents so far have been that great at just doing what we want. They both asked us what we would like specifically for certain items in regards to the baby and then say there and have STRONGLY suggested other things, and when we give them our answer as to why we have chosen what we have, they seem to get pretty pissed off at us.
Thanks again and sorry if this is a big AW!
