My mom and step-dad didn’t get us anything for our baby shower over the weekend. I feel really disappointed as this is my first child and we basically need everything for him.

After the shower, she commented about all the presents I got and said to let her know if I need anything else. So I mentioned we still don’t have a car seat or stroller, and that there’s plenty of items left on my registry (since I don’t know what she wants to spend). She then says my registry is too confusing (🤦🏼‍♀️) and to just tell her. So I again say I still need a stroller. But she brushed it off. I assume it’s too expensive for her to afford. Which is okay and totally understandable. But it’s just so awkward!

I feel like a brat to be upset about “presents” but it just feels like she didn’t care to even try.

Also, when my sister asked my dad what he’s getting me, he said he didn’t think he needed to get us anything. Which is so weird since he’s the type of Dad who offers money anytime I bring up something I need and buys nice gifts at Christmas. His girlfriend ended up gifting us a Tiffany’s baby tea cup and bowl set (?). Super random but she thought it was a nice gesture. Her words. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My feelings are just a bit hurt and I keep bouncing between feeling disappointed in my family, and then angry at myself for acting bratty. Sigh. Am I being over dramatic?
