Just as I expected
I went to my in-laws to look in the attic for all the baby stuff that my sister-in-law is giving me. While at a cousins' get together last month she bragged to everyone about how she has almost everything we need. She went on and on about the list of items she has for us. I had a feeling she wasn't being honest. (She LOVES to make herself look good even if it means lying.)
Turns out the only things she has for us is a crib, dresser, stroller, pack n' play, and a few EXPIRED car seats.My mother-in-law said she gave all the rest away to her friend a few years ago.
She made it seem like we wouldn't have to buy a single item. Um, no she's wrong. We'll still need car seats, a changing table, a swing, a high chair, etc.
Yes, I'm very grateful that she is giving us the items that she is, but I wish she was honest about what she really has. I'm glad I looked now and not 3 months from now.

I don't think you are a spoiled brat at all! I can certainly see and understanding how frustrating that would be. I've had that before too: certain people brag or tell me that they have xyz for me and turns out they don't. It's disappointing to get your hopes up and then have them let down. = (
BUT I am glad that you did get at least some of things you needed! And I wish you luck in getting the rest for your little girl! I am SO EXCITED for you! = )
Sending lots of good thoughts your way = )

I agree. You don't sound spoiled bratty to me. I've been trying not to say anything but I finally did to my sister. I feel very left out of DH's family sometimes. We have three nieces on his side and one of my SILs is done having kids. Neither of them have offered a single hand me down of anything. Which is fine, we can buy our stuff but we aren't made of money and I grew up in a family where helping each other out with stuff like that was what you do. It's very aggravating.
It's great that she's helping you but I agree, don't offer things you don't have. What if you passed up a great sale thinking you were getting those items from her? Glad you found out now what she had to give so you can plan for the rest of it.
