re: Cant get SO involved in the registry :( Vent

lol aww sweetie guys are stupid. So many of them don't get all excited about that stuff like we do. Maybe get his imput on the bigger things and then bring your mom or a girlfriend for all of the cute little fun stuff   My husband wants a say in the furniture and color of the nursery, the paint and the "manly" things but as for blankets and onsies, he's not too interested lol.

I will AGREE with you on guys being STUPID!!!! My bf HATES feeling my tummy when she starts moving....he says it's WEIRD and DISGUSTING!!!! It drives me NUTS, but I LOVE the fact that she moves and kicks and I DON'T CARE how he feels about it....it's HIM MISSING out NOT ME!!!!! LOL

My finacee helped. We went the night we found out it was a girl and registered at Target and Babies R Us, he scanned everything we walked by and liked. Haha, I had to go online after and change it all!!! He has no idea half the crap he picked out I just went and took off! && I changed a lot. We already had our shower and got pretty much everythign off the registry and he has no idea what we did and didnt get!! Guys could care less about that stuff! The most important thing is that they help with picking out hte room decor & car seat/wahtnot.

lol well, thats one thing my husband is really good about...he talks to my tummy and kisses it and keeps his hand there for hours trying to feel something...anything! But I know many guys who, until they actually see their child and hold him, they don't connect like we do.

I know I was being naughty but I would check up on my registryonline ever so often. You can see what was already purchased off your list.

My Hubby was WAY more excited about it than I was.
He totally took over the Gun and LOVED it all!
He is online checking it out all the time.

I think im one of the few that had there boyfriends take over in doing the registry... he wouldnt even let me hold the gun he was like super daddy he picked everything out, he turned my registry into a month long process he didnt want to do all at once either so every weekend we would have to go back there soHE could add things on he was rediculouswith iti shouldnt complain but there were some things i didnt want that he put on and things that i wish i could change but my baby shower is saturday so its a little to late

I went with Mike.  We went the day we found out Adison was a girl...went to the dr, called our parents, had lunch, then went to BRU for a registry extravaganza..  It was fun, but if he doesn't want to go w/ you, then it could be just as nice to do it w/ your mom or a friend or even on your own.  Think of it this way: YOU get to pick out everything for your baby, so you can have the nursery however you want...believe it or not, picking out the quilt/bumper/etc pattern was a big fight w/ us several times, until we FINALLY found one we both liked...and it was for a girl...then a week later we found out her gender and so at least we knew what to register for w/ the bedroom in mind.  Either way, don't let him spoil it for you, have fun and DEFINITELY go to teh store to pick things out so you can test the strollers and see things in person.

I have done everything so far by myself. He's excited about the baby coming but doesn't want to help in preparing for him. So I basicly do everything which really depresses me sometimes.   I registered online and sent it via e-mail. I don't really know if i will be getting a baby shower, plus family and friends that can't be around can still get something if they want.

tell him you're leaving him if he doesn't go with you! and have a huge meltdown. that worked for me   and don't do ti online! they don't have all of the same stuff in-store!

Most guys just can't get excited about breast pumps, pacifiers and onesies. My husband went with me, and helped as best he could, but that was more out of fear of The Horminator making an appearance than any real interest. His interest is building furniture, installing the car seat, the "manly" stuff like that. He gets a real kick out of doing those things.

You really have to accept that men and women have different desires, fill different roles and care take in different ways. You can't expect him to feel the same way as you about itty bitty little socks.  

mannnnn...... we went to register at burlingtons and i will never take him with me again. it was horrible. he was sick of seeing girlie stuff so start picking blue stuff, snoopy stuff, and ugly cheap looking things. not that im having a shower full of expensive things but can we at least get something that doesnt look like it came from the dollar store. he also said that we shouldnt put clothes and small things on there cuz we can buy it ourselves. lol i had to laugh and ask so when should we cancel the shower and who is rich enough to buy EVERYTHING to start of with a baby. he said this is for women! lol lol i think u should b happy he doesnt want to go.

My hubbie was all excited to go and continues to want to keep going like all the time jeje it was really fun though hesreally excited!! when we were done we talked about it all night how excited he is about the whole thing! :]
