Gift Question

Just wondering if I'm over reacting....my mom and dad are planning on either buying us our stroller/car seat combo or the crib we want...my in-laws thought they would buy us a high chair seat that fits on a regular kitchen chair...that is an item I figured we could handle the purchase of later...I'm just wondering why the (in my mind,) HUGE difference in price range....and DH wonders why I don't feel like they like me!

Re: Gift Question
Not what I'm saying at all...I'm just frustrated that they wouldn't ask what WE wanted them to buy us and not just go out on their own with an idea...I'm also worried that we won't get the big things we need and them asking would have alleviated&n
Are you kidding me?
And if there was even a shred of logic to your complaint - how would your ILs know what your parents are spending on you? That's what I don't get. YOU are comparing $$ amounts when I doubt your ILs have a clue as t

Here's an idea. Why don't you attach the gift you would like each person to buy you along with their invite. That way your guaranteed to be satisfied with what they got you. *rolls eyes*
It's a GIFT, not a demand or a request.
My MIL spends more on me than my mother does. Does that mean my mother loves me less? No. You cannot dictate how other people spend their money.
A gift is a gift. If you don't like it, return it.

I hope we can at least play BINGO before.
I'd be really really upset if my sister and bil felt I didn't love them or their baby if I couldn't match a more expensive gift from someone else.
The amount money one spends doesn't equal the amount of love they have for another.

I, personally, don't think you worded your post in the best way. You do sound ungrateful. It is up to you and your DH to buy things for your baby and not rely on others. Perhaps you're feeling as though your in-laws aren't as supporti
Wow, you come off as very bratty. To answer your question, yes you are overreacting.
It's nice that your parents are able to spend more money and asked you what you would like, but that does not mean that everyone has to. You should accept and b

Even though there are plenty of replies to your absurd question, here are some things you should keep in mind:
Sh!t...DH and I bought all of the large items ourselves...nursery furniture, stroller, car seat. We thought we were supposed to provide for our own child, and if we wanted something specific that we should buy it ourselves.
Now I kno
I think other PPs have said it well, but I'll add this:
I don't care how much money you think your ILs have compared to your parents, you don't know their finances and how much they feel comfortable spending. You have no way of knowing whether th
