Hi, i just want someone to laugh with me...
a few weeks ago, my in laws came to visit (from out of this country) and while they were here, we showed them all the things we bought for the baby (it's really exciting for all of us cause this is our first baby and their first grandchild).
We sat down and showed them all the clothes we picked up (all from clearance sections of gap, marshalls, tjmaxx, etc):

anyways, so after seeing all this, my in laws say "she's so spoiled already!" and no, it was not in a just kidding way, but in a real serious tone. What really irks me about this comment is that these two folks spoil the heck out of my sil. she's now 22 but that girl is the epitome of "spoiled". i wont even go into examples to justify my opinion on it. the hubs & i both agree that she is spoiled.
so albeit annoyed, the hubs and i just brushed it off as a stupid comment.
a few days later, we took them shopping and while we were out, we picked up some storage baskets for the baby's room. while heading back to the car, the mil, says, "oh let me guess, you bought MORE stuff for the BABY".
wtheck am i missing here? am i truly buying way too much stuff? the hubs and i thought we were doing a good job minimizing our purchases because we constantly get the advice from our friends "not to buy too much until after the baby is born".
Well whatever, right? so my in laws finally leave and make their way to visit my sil over on the east coast. a few days later, my sil posts a picture on facebook with the caption "good things happen when the parents come to visit"... and guess what the picture is of..... a new pair of PRADA SHOES.
Laugh Out Loud you've got to be effing kidding me.
