To keep with tradition... Or not
My mom is a very traditional person. She's saved her wedding dress for me since before I was born. I'm engaged but don't plan on wearing her dress because I'd really like the opportunity to pick out my own dress that's my own style.
Anyway, my mom has also saved a baby dress that my dad, and both my brother and I wore home from the hospital. It's white, lacey, (imagine a tiny first communion dress haha). We don't know if we're having a girl or boy (keeping it a surprise until the big day!😁). My mom is insistent that we bring our baby home from the hospital in this dress and I'm completely against it for some reason. It's not like I have even another outfit that I'd rather bring the baby home in but maybe I'm just stubborn and don't want to force my baby to keep with traditions that my mom has forced on me? I'm just trying to understand why I feel this way. I know I need to talk to get but I also know she'd be completely hurt and devastated if we didn't do this. Should I just suck it up and stop being so stubborn?
Has anyone else experienced something like this either with a new baby or their weddings? Did you like any of the traditions or were you against it?
