Baby gear

Let me start off by saying that my husband and I are soo fortunate and have endless people in our lives that want to help us and are just anxiously awaiting our baby.

So at the risk of sounding ungrateful or rude....

Did anyone get kind if overwhelmed and frustrated with everyone giving you things ( whether random little gifts or their old stuff) A lot of people around us had kids recently and our moms keep being like oh jeez you wont even need to buy anything! and liek everyones telling us what we will haveee to have. Idk.. I’m gettjng very frustrated. This is our first child, but I have been a nanny for 6 years so I’m aware of what children “ need”. My husband and I are minimalists and have a style thats unique.

Is it rude to just ask everyone to cool it 😬
