Anyone else feeling like a control freak?

so my baby's father is really getting excited and wanting to buy stuff for the baby but he's not picky with things that I am and I'm really struggling with needing to feel like I'm in control of everything my baby gets...is anyone else feeling like this or have tips with how I can deal with this "obsession"?

Re: Anyone else feeling like a control freak?

  • I'm feeling quite controlling too! My husband and son said I'm being a bit mean too. But I've just been trying to whip them into shape but helping out around house more so I can calm down and get a bit more rest! I told them to help me and my crankiness and control freakyness would be better lol! But, I do get control of baby supplies...he could care less....he will carry it to car and in house and put together! But I would take it as him trying to be supportive and be part of your pregnancy more seeing as you really are doing all the work! Is just tell him simply that you would like to choose things and you will be stubborn about the choices if not!! Lol!

  • If he's willing to buy stuff I would let him. He's probably feeling a little left out and wanting to be part of the pregnancy with you. Maybe go together to the store and pick things out together! I would LOVE if my husband wanted to buy things for the baby.
  • Haha yea I know im lucky when it comes to that its just my first child and I'm feeling a little over protective and just plain out picky lol.

    I'm not really talking toys and clothes im talking more things like passies, Bottles, food, meds, etc..
  • Very lucky! Oh well tell him wait let's get closer to due date before we buy those types of things. ;)
  • I'm not too fussy with clothing or decor and we tend to share the same taste in those things.

    No. I'm like this with names. 

    I keep finding myself thinking "Yo buster, I'M making this thing.. I can call it what i want."

    I realize it's not fair. But there it is.
