Mother-In-Law buying too much?

[krissy]

Ok, I'm in a tough situation. I'm having a baby and 17 weeks along. My boyfriends mother went shopping last week and bought a stroller, car seat, high chair, bouncer, and playpen for the baby. I'm thankful she did that, but now MY mother is upset because she doesn't know what she can get for me now. I'm irritated with my boyfriends mother for just going out and doing this. I know she's only trying to help, but my mother and grandmother were really looking forward to buying stuff. Another thing I'm irritated about is that I don't even know what any of this stuff looks like, so who knows if I'll like it. I had plans with my mother to go shopping and pick stuff out for her to buy. Honestly should I be irritated or not? Like I said before, I know she's only trying to help but I feel like she should've at least got an idea about what I would like and maybe thought about other people wanting to buy stuff. My boyfriend's mother also found a crib for really cheap and wants to buy it. I'm not sure if I should let her or not. Somebody give me advice please!

Tell her you would like your mother and grandmother to buy the crib/mattress and chest. Honestly, there is still plenty to buy for the baby. A beautiful crib and chest to me would be more important than the other things she has purchased. Chest of drawers for the clothing, bassinet, clothing, changing table, and things for the bath plus baby products. Be thankful for the boyfriend's mother generosity. She is caught up in the birth of her grandchild, so have a heart to heart with her, and tell her your mom and grandmother would like to buy the crib and other things since she has been so generous.

OMG! I'm not reading that long thing but if your fat mother-in-law comes in and plops her fat butt down and says, "Gimme 200 I'm shopping", then kick her ass out!

You mother-in-law is happy and excited about the baby. Is this your first baby with your boyfriend? She is helping and want to take care of everything by herself. Don't feel irritated..you should be thankful you have a mother-in-law who loves and cares about you. Just talk to her, and tell her how you feel about her doing it by herself and that your mother wants to be part of this also. Just explain to her that you want to choice your own colors for the baby because that's yours and your boyfriends plan. Take her for lunch or breakfast and then bring it to her attention...without sounding rude. Good luck.
