Hi all,
I mentioned in one my previous posting that I was upset for a while because no one threw me a baby shower. I have gotten over that since then. Now get this.
My DH and I bought stuff like crib, swing and a stroller on craigslist. We believe in reusing resources, not because we can't afford them. We bought a brand new cadillac car seat because it is important to have a solid one. One day I was walking near my house and my neighbor was doing a garage sale so I took a little swing and a bath tub from her. My MIL thinks that it is green signal for her to go and buy clothes for my baby in garage sales. I don't go around garage sale shopping. I have got better things to do with my time. I am upset now again because I am not really expecting any thing out of anyone else. My DH and I are perfectly capable of supporting our kid and buying stuff for him. I just don't want a whole bunch of old/used stuff (I do draw a line w/ used clothes esp. if they are from others) for my precious, long awaited one and only one baby!
I would've been happy if she just bought one new thing like an onesie. I also come froma family that looked down upon wearing/buying used clothes. How should I stop this garage sale shopping spree?
