How do I nicely let my in laws know to only buy my baby things for Christmas that are on the list?
I am so very thankful for any gifts I receive for my baby but I hate when someone spends their hard earned money on something that we won’t need or use. When I was pregnant, my MIL had me make a registry and I spent hours on it all for her to not even look at it. Instead her and my FIL asked us what we needed, we told them everything that’s on the registry and sent the link again and instead of getting anything on it, they buy a few onesies (which she didn’t need), clothes weren’t even on her registry. Then they asked us if we needed diapers, we told them yes, that’s on the registry and we told them the exact brand and size and instead, they got us a small pack of a brand we already decided we weren’t going to use in a size we didn’t need at the time so it was just a waste of money for them. I know they’re going to ask what she will need for Christmas and I have a list. How do I kindly tell them to only get what’s on the list? I don’t want to sound rude and I don’t want them wasting their money again on things we won’t need or use.
