Mother-in-law has forced my mum to fork out for baby
Daily Record
|September 22, 2025
MY HUSBAND and I are expecting our first baby in January, and both sets of grandparents are very excited as the baby will be their first grandchild.
-

Dear Collen
My issue is, my mother-in-law has taken it upon herself to get in touch with my mum to carve up what they're going to buy us for the baby — crib, buggy, car seat and so on.
She seems to think it’s traditional for the grandparents to do this, but my parents aren't really in a position to fork out hundreds of pounds on this stuff. I can tell my mum is a bit stressed about it, so I've just told her not to worry and that T'll find a way to get my mother-in-law to back off.
My husband and I are happy to buy the big things ourselves and if the grandparents want to buy gifts when the baby arrives, that's great.
