Did your DH/DW register with you?

Just curious. 

I have been doing lots of research (online, Baby Bargains) on all things baby.  Every time I ask DH's opinion I get "That's fine" and "Whatever you want.  I just want LO to be healthy".  Ok, big help.  So I started a registry online last weekend.  He is going to be hunting Saturday and Sunday this weekend so I was thinking about going to finish up the registry.  He said that he doesn't really care and I'm afraid it will be more of a headache if he goes, lol!  I might take my BFF with me since she has 2 kids already.

Re: Did your DH/DW register with you?

  • i took my sister dh didnt want to go
  • Ya, he went for the initial registering when we put all the big stuff on there.  But I went later without him to add little stuff.

  • He went with me when we signed up and then it was like Supermarket Sweep b/c he only had ten minutes till he had to go to work.  He ran around and scanned things.  I asked him to look at cribs, but he ended up finding other stuff too.  The next time I went I took my best friend who has two kids and was a big help.  I think he had fun and he got to see what we were registering for.
  • He went and I was glad that he did.  I have a hard time making decisions, so it was nice to have him say..."this one".

  • Yep, he did. He got way more into it than I thought he would... then I used the edit feature at babiesrus.com =)

  • I did it all online. After I finished I had him look it over to see if there was anything that he did not like. He had a few questions on some of the items but for the most part he wasn't all that interested in the whole thing.

    This.  ;-)  And some things he cared about, others he didn't.

  • I don't know if she will go. I'm doing all the research but she definitely has strong opinions on colors and styles.  I think I'll narrow down what I'd like to get and then have her make pick the final style.

  • Yes, he helped pick out the bigger items. He also wanted a say in the furniture we got. We only went in to the store once to register. After that I did every thing online. He didn't mind going, I think he has too much fun with the scanner. I had to remove an over abundance of sheets and blankets. I think he scanned everthing I touched in those aisles lol.

  • No I went with Two after doing a bunch of research and showing him options to which he said, "just get the safest one"...uhm 'k.

    After I registered- I had my cousin who has 3 kids go through and see if I forgot/ overlooked anything...and then i made changes but I didnt have to change much..

  • Yes.. he did.. I picked out most of the "big" stuff online.. but it was helpful to have DH at the store with me, just to bounce ideas off of. The smaller things get a little overwhelming.. He did want to register for some stupid things, that I later took off the registry.. haha..

    Definitely take someone, for me, I wouldn't have taken anyone BUT my dh.. He's very involved baby-wise.. but i wouldn't go alone.

  • I had dh come with me to pick out the "big" things - travel system, crib, pnp, high chair, etc. All the other little things I did myself online or took either my mom or MIL.

    We did this too.  DH enjoyed picking out the things like stroller, PNP,etc but didn't really care too much when it came to picking out all the little stuff.

  • DH didn't want to go (didn't tell me that until we got there) and had so much fun going. It helped to make it seem more real for him.
