RockRose.. I didn't mean that I spent 1500 dollars on a stroller. I said that the carseat and stroller combo from Orbit can cost up to 1500 dollars. I'm not sure why you got so defensive. I simply stated that if you have the money to spend, then why not? However, I don't feel anyone on here should feel the need to defend their financial situation to anyone else. Like I said in an earlier comment on this post, if I had the money I would have gone just as crazy! :) I got lucky finding great deals at second hand stores.

Oh, you live in a wonderful city.  I imagine it IS a little harder to meet people.  People everywhere around you but it does take time in NYC to meet people and to feel totally comfortable.  I'm out in the suburbs . . .  a LOT different than Manhattan.  I'll send you a friend request.  Keep in touch!

I understand.  it does take time.  I am guessing you'll bond more with other ladies once you have your baby (if they aren't too jealous of your car seat, ha ha).  No, seriously.  I had good friends before my kids . . .   but the women I am so close to now that they are like sisters are all women that I met after I had my children and we bonded over that.  Are you going to be a working mom or a stay at home mom?  I stay at home and have found many places to meet other moms.  But it does take time to find 'true' friends.  I'll be your 'med help' friend though!!  :>)

I mean for friends @specialmum you need to trust them, it takes time. I have been here for only 5 months, and you know you don't know knocking asking for good friends. My husband is my only friend for now. I mean my neighbors are cool but not social so it difficult.

Madohah,  I'm trying to be nice to a foreigner who has no friends.  

Babies are cheap.  You're being ripped off if you're spending a lot of money on a little baby.  

Peace.

???  I'm NOT trying to make you feel bad for overspending on your babies.  

You're not probably buying the best.  You're overspending.  HELLO,  there's NO reason to buy a $1500 stroller.  

I'm just going to say this.  I have a lot of money.  There is no frgging way I would spend that on this ridiculous stuff that's pushed on new mommies right now.

Then why does it make it ok for you to make us feel bad for wanting to buy the best we can get for our babies? That's not fair at all.
