So I had my baby shower yesterday and after all the last minute changes I was so surprised that anyone showed up at all, it actually ended up being a pretty decent day! I sent out invites with the typical registry info in them for my guests. While I am opening gifts I find one that I thought was on the registry, but after I opened it I realized it wasn't... I am having a girl and my husbands close uncle didn't like the little lamp that matches my nursery theme which is very pink, so he bought a different pooh lamp but its green and blue theme for a boy. Then he states he liked that one better than the one on the registry. My husband is backing his family and is making me feel like I am acting stupid... The nursery is painted pink, the bedding is pink, and we are having a girl.....Maybe I should try and change the sex of the baby now?!?!?! lmbo Who get my frustration, anyone please I AM NOT CRAZY! RIGHT?!?!?

    No you aren't crazy I'd be pissed if someone gave me a pink lamp for my sons jungle room. Id be soo pissrd

    Well what's the point of registering if no one is going to get items on your list. I would have told the guy oh I'm sorry i didn't realize I was having your baby. I would be irate and honestly I would probably take it back and get the one I want. I don't care if that makes me a biotch. What he did wasn't nice either.

    LOL...I am actually at least trying to get a sage green rug to go on the floor that might tie in the lamp but I just feel like I shouldn't have to, I am just trying to be nice about it and not cause problems. I think my husband just doesn't want to deal with it so he just tells me it doesn't involve him...why not involve him(rhetorical)

    Just exchange it

    @honeybunny I think thats what my hubby thinks is stupid, I feel a little alone because it did tick me off and I thought i have handled it well so far. I just didn't want to cause a scene or hurt feelings, but this is not the first time I have settled with his family. If it was for my husband I think they would go through great lengths to get the exact thing he asked for.
  • blueberrysmomblueberrysmom
    Yep. Exchange it or don't use it. Nobody can force you to use a mismatch lamp.
  • Cmasat4Cmasat4
    I appreciate the feedback everyone! It is a great feeling to know I'm not alone. If i can't find a way to tie it in I will just exchange it for the other one. Thank You so much!

    Can u.return the lamp??? Some people don't get the point of a registry!
  • Cmasat4Cmasat4
    I might try and exchange it without anyone knowing. I do know where he went shopping.

    I say either exchange it or put it away for any future kids...or even give it to somebody else at their baby shower. If anyone asks what happened to the lamp just tell them u found a good use for it. Id b upset too. We create registries for a reason! People need to understand that =p
  • firsttymemomfirsttymemom
    I would exchange it. I went a lot of time on our registries and am crossing my fingers people will at the least LOOK at them when going to buy us stuff and not just buy what THEY want! I'm a really picky person and tend to wear my emotions right out there so hopefully people will get the things i want.

    UPDATE: So I find out that the lamp was from when my nephew was born so not only could I not return it (they tore off the barcode) they also lied to me about buying it cause they liked it better! OMG! So they want to keep the lamp for some other time and my mother-in-law told me to buy the right lamp that she would pay me back. Chalk that up to the anger I and my husband already had with them when we found out that our really expensive dining table and chairs that were stored in his garage ended up at his friends house. I found a picture of them on the friends facebook page, that's how I found out about that! I'm officially done and now so is my husband thank god!
  • stacyraestacyrae
    WOW, that is MESSED UP! Demand that table and those chairs back! That's total BS! And their excuse about the lamp was no better than the real reason. I'd be super po'd.
  • Cmasat4Cmasat4
    oh we are for sure! who needs that?
  • texasmom3texasmom3
    I would exchange it for the other :o
  • texasmom3texasmom3
    Oops just read your update ...
  • juliek77juliek77
    Ugh that would just piss me off! I mean regifting is one thing but they want it back now to use some other time? Seriously, if they didn't want to give you a gift/couldn't afford to, they should have just gotten a nice card and given you some "coupons" for them babysitting the baby or something. And the table thing? That is just F-ed up!
  • ethansmommy122ethansmommy122
    Be pissed! Its your baby, your shower, your lamp choice!! Its not about anyone else, go get what u want!!! Some people are just ignorant that way...
  • carriebearcarriebear
    Yea but isnt it blue too? Do u have blue in your baby girls room to match the lamp?

  • carriebearcarriebear
    Ok read they took it back. Cant believe they told u to go get your own gift after that. Hmmm?
  • Cmasat4Cmasat4
    lol I figured you all would love that! I totally appreciate all the support and I think I'm done now til the next family encounter! lmbo
  • survivormommie3survivormommie3
    there is a reason it's a registry, so they know what YOU want. who cares how they feel. i would take it back and exchange it.
  • BensMamaBensMama
    Lol, you're not crazy! I would absolutely exchange it and I wouldn't feel bad for a second! There's a reason we register, after all! I think it was pretty rude of his uncle to do/say that, honestly. Go get your lamp, girl! :)
  • BensMamaBensMama
    Oops, I have a bad habit of posting and then going back and reading the whole thread... that's some b.s.! A lot of nerve! I would just get the lamp I want, not take their reimbursement, get my table and chairs, and keep my distance.
