Re: so SIL just texted me...

I think it's ok to say, "thanks so much. I appreciate your help but I've gone over my registry so many times with (insert names of friends who are mothers) that I'm so done with tweaking it."

Do't put yourself through dealing with her input!

I like that idea.


Unless she is a Nanny FT and deals with infants daily, I am not sure how much experience she has to share. Chat Icon

Who knows, she might actually have something useful to say? Doesn't hurt to listen, you don't have to follow of course. Chat Icon

i agree! you're saying no, but in a nice way, so it works. that's really annoying though. i know people who are like that too.

Re: so SIL just texted me...

I would say, "ugh, I am so done debating the registry - it's perfect for me!"

And the opposite, I had friends pester me to review their registries and then when I gave advice then changed not one thing Chat Icon one friend had every large item in pink for her first baby and now, having a boy and nothing neutral (and now she says I was right Chat Icon )

I'd def. go with thanks, but no thanks!

Re: so SIL just texted me...

i obviously don't know the history with you and your SIL, but you could always just say sure (to keep the peace) and if you don't like anything she says, you certainly don't have to act on it.

She may have something useful you didn't think of, you never know.

Re: so SIL just texted me...

thanks girls! if this was just out of nowhere i would have listened to her suggestions no problem. However, this comes after weeks of her complaining about everything having to do with my shower, where we are registered, and anything else she could possibly complain about. I just honestly don't want to hear anything else she has to say.

I wrote back "Thank you, but I went over it with my sister and got some advice from twin moms so I think I am all set"

i thought it was a polite way to say thanks, but no thanks. Of course I got a snotty response back....oh well I can't winChat Icon
