MOTHERS!!!!

[lozzi]

im only 15 weeks and my baby is nearly fully kitted out, and ahs most of its furniture on order, on route, or in storage.

most of this stuff i had no idea about. i happened to mention the other day about going looking for certain things and she was like ooo thats already bought its being delivered next week.

i was like WTF


anyone else's mothers gonig mental on the buying front?

 

[kellie80]

My mum would if i let her! Shes banned till i'm at least 20 weeks.

no it was my MIL who done that i was lucky if i got some vodka fumes from my mother but look at it this way at least you dont have to go buy it all and the money you save on buying the stuff she has bought could go towards something else thats the way i see it now and it isnt too bad to be honest

take care hunny

xxxxxxx

My Mum is visiting and has gone crazy but I love it! Her and my step dad have already bought a travel system and she has bought so many clothes including a pair of D&G trainers! My brothers are also buying loads of stuff but this is the first grandchild so I can't dampen their enthusiasm. Enjoy it, its much nicer to have the support than to be on your own

 

[hev&madi]

my mums not really that interested she has given me £20 to get something but i dont really hear from her

my dad on the other half is now a shop o holic!

My mum wants to buy from car boots, and OH would go mad.

Why would hubby go mad, 90% of the clothes from car boots are in mint condition, have had NEXT suits that would have cost £15 for £2. you'll save loads from car boots, some of the stuff ewan had he only wore 3 times before he grew out of them.

I've only bought ewan a hand full of clothes new but they were in the sale, i refuse to pay full price for baby clothes they are cashing in on mums.

Carboot clothes are ace! but everyone to the their own!

I have also been buying a few second hand bits from ebay. Only babies have worn hem no sweaty old men! In fact there are a lot of things for sale that still have tags on as babies grow too fast to wear them. I have 4 snow suits all bought for between 1 and 2 pound each. They cost at least £20 here new and as we get so much snow I need a few but babies only´wear each size for a few months. Its a great time to get baby winter stuff on ebay at the mo' because people aren't thinking about the cold weather yet so get some bargains

i cant see the problem wtih second hand clothes for babies, they grow in and out of them so quickly it seems mad payin manufacturers mad prices for something abby will wear twice,

dont get me wrong if its crappy all bubbly and torn or something theres no way but my sister bought me a lil suit the other day from a charity shop it still has the tags on it!!! and i think she paid a quid!
