Why do they bother asking?

Since this is my 3rd and my family against sprinkles, ive had to start from scratch with all my baby shopping. I made a registry for the sake of keeping track of what i NEED to buy with no expectation of anyone else getting me anything however I had a few friends and couple family members ask me for my registry so they get the baby stuff. My sister was going to buy a $200 changing table but I landed one for free so she ended up giving me $100 to buy baby stuff instead which i was grateful for . My MIL was going to buy the travel system which was about $200 and again, i landed a free carseat and decided Im just going to get a used snap and go for it. I feel no need to be a fancy ass even though I would have loved to get the travel system I had my heart set on, I figured she would offered to get other stuff i needed of about that value instead. At first she was happy like " great now I dont have to get the baby anything" then i think she eventually felt bad and asked if there was anything else i needed that she can get- i told her i really needed a rock and play also the baby could use some more sleeper gowns/1 pieces ( which wouldve been half the worth of the travel system anyway) she goes " Ok great , I'll get it this weekend" instead she comes over today with $3 2 pack of onsies for the baby and slippers & robe for me- I could def use them but I care more about getting the baby his stuff rather then stuff for me. I had like 30 things on my registry, nothing fancy at all, no major baby gear or expensive stuff, all the essential lil stuff that adds up . Im over 38 weeks and saw none of the people who said they wanted to buy from the registry did, i went ahead and bought 25 of those things and left 5 things on there just in case ( a boppy pillow, bathtub, sling and 2 boxes of diapers) I know if i wipe out my registry then those people will be like " Oh, you didnt leave me anything to get" but it's like this is stuff i NEED by the time baby is born which is any moment now, I can only wait out for so long. I think I have no choice but to just get them and if they ask Ill tell them if they want do a giftcard so I can get diapers and larger clothes when the baby needs it but then again I know some people think insisting on a giftcard is greedy so I dont know how to handle that . Im annoyed ( maybe it's my hormones) but it's not like I cant say anything to them because that would be awkward. Im more annoyed with my MIL because she is infamous for being cheap so I dont why she promised and talked about for months how she was going to help with baby stuff then Im relieved " Oh , great that will be taken care of" and then she ends up getting me a 2pk of onsies instead, it's like a bad joke.

I'm sorry you are going through this! Hopefully once the baby arrives your MIL will help out and get a few things. I would have bought everything too as its too close to your due date to worry about not having it. If people ask you if you need anything maybe just say diaper, wipes etc . Best of luck w your pregnancy!
