I'm Currently Feeling:  | A pram is definitely a personal choice yet at the same time, sounds like she has a good heart. Can your OH perhaps suggest to his mom the type of pram you want?  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I agree a pram is a very personal choice. My MIL did buy ours, luckily she just gave us a check for it though (although at one point she did tell me she almost went and picked one out for us!!!) |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I agree with the other girls. Its such a personal choice you and your OH need to decide which one you want. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My MIL bought our pram... She sent us some money so we can choose it and buy the one we wanted. (She's in the UK and we live in Canada)
Maybe she can give you the money she's willing to put in and you can go shopping for your pram?! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Funny mine did too! She wanted to pick one out, and I repeatedly said I had already chose one. I had it on my registry and everything. I was so nervous when I looked at the box LOL, luckily she got the one we chose! Thats thoughtful of her, but its something you have to have some say in. Good luck! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My MIL already bought it without showing us what type and what it looks like. She said it's a surprise ! She just said don't worry it's brand name ( but that's not the point, is it? ). SHe the type of person who doesn't take any notice whatsoever we said. She bought many thing already for us.She said we need lot of help, but there's nothing left for
Thank you for that but i told her i want to get a few pieces of clothes for when he's born as it's my 1st baby, but like i said "no notice taken". I know when my OH said her heart is in the right place, but ....
She lives in Endland and we live in Thailand and she comes 4 times a year ( can you believe that ) | | | | Status: Offline
