I told my mom- who by the way is very hard to deal with- that I was registering on Sunday-
She asked if she could go.
I told her that My DH was going...tthinking she would realize that I really just want ot go with my DH.
But she just said, yaaa?
And, it wouldnt be just her, she has 3 kids.

Any advice?
should I just let her come?

You could put the blame on your DH and say that he really wants it to be the two of you since it's sort of a special time. I blame everything on mine for the easy way out (though usually he is at fault for everything...lol)!

yep yep, or lie and say you decided to wait, then do it, and just don't mention it again till later

[Admin-Rachel]

Well, I'd just tell her the truth - that you want this to be a special time for just you and DH. Ask her to go with you to some other time to shop.

dont' let her come
tell her that this is something you want to do with just your DH but you would love to share the information with her after you have it completed

Yeah I would just say you guys wanted to make a special day out of it just the two of you, or blame it on him and say he really wanted to spend the day with just you two.

HA! I do the same thing!

I told my mom that she has been going baby shopping with me plenty so DH and I want to do the registry on our own. I also had to tell her she couldn't come to the 4D gender ultrasound because DH wanted it to be just us

I would just tell her its your guys special time and you guys would go shopping another day

I understand the 3 kids thing my mother also has 3 it makes it incredibly hard to spend time looking at things and it makes it stressful. I would go with the "Mom you know with the kiddos it will be really hard to really shop and this may be very time consuming and I am worried the kids just wont have the patience." My mom usually gets it.
For the 4d ultrasound we didn't tell either family we were going we called when it was over and offered to show them pictures.

I agree with all the other ladies- either blame it on DH, or if you can, tell her you want the original registering to be just you and DH, but maybe later on, you can go with your mom and show her what you registered for and see if she has any other suggestions?
