Okay so im gonna be completely honest....im crazy. I get super jealous at this girl@ my work because she's having a litttle half black baby like me, and she's due 2 weeks behind me. Well, she keeps posting pics of these little jordan shoes she keeps buying for her son...and like makes me feel horrible that I can't afford them....she makes me feel like my kid is gonna be dresses in rags which is so far from the truth...I just can't help but feel like she's trying to compete with me. The only thing I have over her is my BD is still in the picture....can anyone else relate, I know im being completely irrational...

    I can't relate, but I personally think buying $50+ shoes for a baby who can't walk is a complete waste of money. So I'm on your side!! Besides, money can't buy love or happiness, remember that :)

    Baby Jordans are $30, kid Jordans are $50+. I can't relate, but I know kids are still cute no matter what brand they wear. My bf buys our son the baby Jordans, but that's on him. I did buy my son some Jordan booties though. That girl is just stunting. Trust me, she'll regret it when her kid can no longer wear em.

    Just buy the lil Jordan sets they have. They're like 20 bucks at Footlocker, and they have onesies & matching booties. At least those can be worn for a lil while. I know my lil man will have at least that, but I personally couldn't imagine buying the actual shoes until he can walk. BUT, knowing my bf, he'll have to match daddy. Smh. Let her do her. She'll realize she shoulda put the money towards diapers or formula instead.

    Yah I keep telling myself that. Im not dogging on her by any means she just makes me feel below her...and I did splurge and buy a set about a week ago with booties and a hat...I couldn't help it. @starxoxo9 that made me feel a lot better when you say $ can't buy happiness...your so right, im just glad his daddy is going to be with me through all this! I just need to focus on me, and do me;) thanks@ sheilaMae804

    im not having the exact same problem but i see all the pregnant women around me buying a bunch of clothes designer or otherwise. plus pretty cribs/crib sets, while i am using hand me down stroller's cribs carseats used clothes from friends and all i can think is that im not gonna be good enough... i was raised in a poor family.. i have money now but dont want to spend money on things i dont need... and really baby's out grow things so quick any way.. im almost certain my baby will be running around in diapers most of the time any way( i live in hawaii year round warm)..
  • TandTsbbTandTsbb
    @jalem im in the same boat! Im using all hand me downs too, carseats, everything. The only thing new I've got is all newborn onsies and that's because my sisters baby was too big to fit into any that she received from her baby shower and what not. I guess I just feel like my baby will be in the shadow of her baby...its silly but that's how I feel:(

    That's all I have is hand me downs and I know how fast kids grow I'm not wasting a lot of money for something shell wear twice or so its crazy all parents would be broke with out hand mr downs

    here's my philosophy- the first 2 pair of shoes are important so i took all my kids to striderite and got the proper staged shoes for them. after about the third pair i say "screw it" and get the cheap ones.. not so cheap it'll hurt their feet, but i am not joking when i say the kids will go 2 wks and somehow they have ruined their shoes. I got my son some shoes for regular play and activities, but i got him separate shoes that were easier to wipe off for tball- since he drags his feet in the gravel/sand most of the time anyway. his regular shoes last 5 wks, his tball shoes lasted 2 wks. i was so mad. but i am not going to give my kids expensive shoes for them to get worn out and broken soled and all that jazz. heck i thought paying $28 for MY shoes when they were on sale was ridiculous.

    Jordan for a baby that he'll grow out of in a month is complete stupidity. Babies/toddlers do not need designer things. They'll most likely mess them up and definitely grow out of them and guess what? A big ass waste of money. I can't and won't relate. I'll he like "you go ahead and waste your money if you want to" ,"ik buying those $10 shoes from Walmart.

    Ok so now the girl just added another pic! Her whole floor is covered in jordan crap for her kid....ug just bothers the shit out of me! At least my baby is gna have a daddy around to teach him how to ball, unlike her she tried trappinng her man and he left...which is sad. But its the truth...im just like annoyed by her....
  • myressa2011myressa2011
    I would not stress it. Poor girl will feel like a damn fool cuz that baby will prob grow out of them in a few weeks and not wear half of it. She should be spending her money on diapers and formula etc, i personally would not spend that much on a pair of shoes that are barely going to get worn. Dont worry about it too much she trying to make you feel less than, she might ve jealous you have your bd in the pic and trying to stunt let her be :)

    I feel the same way sometimes when I think about some of the things I cant just go out and buy for my baby.. But im so glad I have a boyfriend who is right here with me and can get everything his baby needs... So forget that girl cus she just showin off I gurantee whatever u get for ur baby will be just as nice or even betta!

    Rofl! Wow! Y r u beating urself up for something so stupid?! I never buy my kids name brand anything! Spending all that money on shoes that re kid may wear for less then a month is such a waste! I had jordans but got them for free or at a garage sale for one dollar! Stupid stupid people wasting money! I but most baby toddler clothes at walmart or other sales. Kids grow so fast there is no point! If u feel so bad open up a savings account n start a small college fund. When the kids 18 he won't care he had fancy shoes before he was one he'll want money for school.
  • mandac10mandac10
    Oh n who cares if the baby is black or half black or anything ... I mean just cause there skin is dark doesn't mean he needs namebrands... that's a huge stereotype if u ask me. So my kids r white does that mean we should live in a trailer and have a bunch of guns and brew up some moonshine? My children s father isn't my cousin ... lol!
