I need to vent...

DH wants to register tomorrow and I am totally stressingout.  Registering and picking stuff outfor the house are the only things that DH and I can NEVER agree on.  Registering for our wedding was extremelyhard.   Picking out paint colors for thehouse was a nightmare and buying furniture for our house took 3 trips to thesame furniture store in order for us to come to a compromise.  I?ve been looking online and doing researchon all the baby products but I know that once we get into the store it?s goingto be hard to convince him if he seeing something he really likes.  I?ve been stressing about it all day and nowhe says I am stressing for no reason because it will be fun and he?s reallyexcited to do it together.   Maybe he?sright and I just need to take a deep breath.   Any tips for stress-free registering?

    aw just try to relax and have fun and remember: you can add tons of things to your registry.. especially if you can't decide between a few.. and then go online and delete things super easily once you've come to a decision!  that way you have plenty of time to think about it and do some additional research once you come home and it will be easier than trying to reach a compromise right there in the store.

    Oh, that would drive me nuts. My SO knows that most of what he says or wants only matters on his birthday. That being said, baby stuff might be a lot different than wedding registry stuff. It's not so much self defining as pleasing, maybe you could just get it out there in advance if you have any major wants or dislikes so it's known in advance?

    My DH has a LOT of opinions about our wedding registry as well, but when it came to baby stuff he kind of diverted to me being the expert. Not sure what makes me an expert, but it sure made registering a whole lot easier!

    Good luck! I hope it goes well!

    Same here. H was 'in control' during the wedding registry process. He inspected and had to okay some of the stuff on the registry like flatware, dish sets and things like that. But with the baby registry, he was there but sitting in the background. He left the decision making to me but I still asked his opinion on some things.

    I had the same experiences as many of the PP's.  DH had lots of opinions during the wedding, but sure as hell wasn't going to tell me what breast pump to use.  Plus I did more of the research about those types of items than he did (partly b/c of the bump, and I knew about things we needed that he hadn't thought of).  I am sure some things, like picking out furniture, might be hard, but other things he might defer to you on.  

    Good Luck!

    Baby stuff is a lot different for guys from house stuff. Try to keep that in mind. He won't have the same experience or opinions on the stuff like you will. :)

    Good luck!

    My H and I are the same way. Our current disagreement is over a diaper bag. It's annoying, and I don't have any solid advice since we haven't figured it out. But good luck; you're not alone!
