I'm probably not going to make myself sound very good here but I feel so strongly that I'm curious to how other people feel?
I'm really dreading telling OH's family we're having a baby (atm, I don't have any intention of telling mine at all) because I'm worried I'm going to have a massive influx of 'oh hey, we aren't using this anymore, have all of our stuff that we don't want anymore' or worse, FIL will randomly go buy us a pram because it's on offer (it's the type of thing he does, buys stuff because it's a good deal lol).
I don't think I'd mind stuff like baby grows etc but big items like the pushchair, nursery furniture, cot etc I really want us to choose ourselves rather than have stuff offloaded onto us - I feel like it's almost a rite of passage.
I'm hoping I'm being irrational and it won't happen but just wondering how other people feel about this sort of thing?
