I just can’t get this outta the back of my mind!!! My baby shower was in May and my mother in law didn’t get me a gift for the baby. Now, I’m not one who’s out to get stuff for free, this isn’t about money, but to me it’s about the moral of the whole idea. A couple of days after my baby shower(which was at my mother in law’s home, which by the way her contribution was having the shower in her home, she didn’t even clean up before hand, and she made macaroni salad…and my mother paid for EVERYTHING else) my inlaw complained to me that she was running low on cash since the shower…now months before the inlaws told me they’d get me a swing for the baby…the next day my mother in law told me she’d buy the swing and then mentioned again days later how low on cash she was running. so i told my husband to tell her not to buy the swing until she had the extra money…’cause the last thing I’d want to do was put them out of cash to buy daily necessities. So he told his mom….THEN…within the next week my sister in law (also, prego…due 6 weeks after me…I was june and she was july) finds the “crib” of her dreams….and yep mommy went and bought it for her…needless to say I bought my own swing and they bought nothing. I found out later on that my father in law gave my mother in law the $$$ in the beginning of may for the swing and it was never bought!!! Also, just in conversation my mother in law mentioned that she had had a blanket knitted for my step son when he was born and this and that(8yrs ago)…plus his bday feel a weeks before my child was born and she spent money right in front of me buying him quite a few gifts for his birthday!!! I have a pretty descend job and my inlaws know i make descend money…so I’m not sure if that’s the reason or not that she won’t buy my son anything!!! My feeling are so hurt by this. I know that my mother in law loves my son, so why’d she do this….and it’ been mentioned that they ( the inlaws) know they still haven’t bought the baby anything…i don’t think it’s a cash issue ’cause my father in law just bought a $4000 toy!!! I couldn’t stand it and I told my mother in law my feelings very nicely(don’t know if I should have) and she responded with “well…your just sooo hard to please, I didn’t think you’d like anything I got for you”…she had no basis to go off of with that remark…idk…but I just can’t get her frugalness outta my head everytime I see her!!!

I threw my out and want the name of a toy that was featured in the magazine I got this past Monday. The toy was a little horse train set. the entire thing is stored within a stuffed animal and it was really adorable. PLEASE HELP!! I’d love to get it for my daughter’s first birthday but cannot remember the name.
I think it was in the latest American Baby but may have been Parents or another one of those freebie ones you get in the mail.
Thanks for your time!

I’m not talking about ‘Oh, we should’ve gone to Europe’ or ‘We should’ve saved more money.’ My husband and I have done so much and we’re happy with where we are financially, but lately I feel that with the baby on the way we need to make a point of doing ‘fun’ stuff as a couple, even just on a weekend.
Problem is, I feel so unmotivated — I don’t want to try out a new restaurant (I feel so big and I feel guilty if we spend money on non-baby extravagances) and the thought of getting in a car and driving/riding to any activity just sounds so unappealing. But cheap/free outings like going to a cafe or bookstore sounds dull, too.
My husband says that we can still do these things as a family once the baby comes, but I feel like time is running out. Anyone else?

I have a rainforest swing that was used all of 4 times, a jumperoo, exersaucer, and 2 pack and plays, clothes out the wazoo that I had on craigslist for free. I asked my pregnant friend if she wanted them and she said “I would really like new stuff, so no thanks.” If I add a price will I get rid of it faster? I had them in my MIL’s garage sale for free, but nobody took it, lol. We are non smokers, and the stuff looks brand new. The closest goodwill to us, said they are not taking baby stuff anymore for legal reasons. Where should I take this stuff, lol. Women’s shelter? We live pretty far in the country so we don’t have kid to kid, or other second hand baby stores. Any ideas?
