my parents and IL are splitting the cost for crib and furniture that me and DH pick out and they are splitting the cost of my shower.

i guess they like being equal so its fair - lol

My parents are reps for furniture companies so they are getting the baby furniture. My mil mentioned this basinette thing she saw that she wanted to get us, which would be perfect since the baby will be in our room for at least 4 months since her bedroom is far away.

they are doing the shower, but that's probably about it. Neither are in a financial position to do any more than that. That's ok with me - I know the love is thereChat Icon

My parents and my IL's split the cost of the furniture. I believe my mom is paying for the shower, but I don't know if MIL is splitting it with her. I'm sure they will both buy lots of things for the baby....I know my mom said she bought stuff...just not from my registry.

Alright, so it's not just me then. My mom hasn't gotten me anything for the baby and my shower has passed. She did not host the shower and is very well off financially. I thought maybe I was expecting too much.

My parents and ILs are splitting the cost for the baby's furniture and my entire layette. I went with them to pick everything out so I didn't go above their budget.

I'm not sure. With Christopher, my parents bought his furniture. I have no idea if anybody's helping this time around, because we're going to need a second set.

My inlaws bought us the crib/mattress and I know will get us some other things.

My Mom wants to throw me/pay for a shower (long story -- I dont want one, she wants to give me one, etc) but in lieu of that, I know she will probably get us either the pack n play, travel system or some other 'bigger' item
