Golden Child’s Golden Crib: A Family Feud Over a Baby Shower Gift
Our heroine, a hardworking woman in the medical field, finds herself in the eye of a family storm. Her younger sister, the family’s golden child, is expecting her first child. The excitement turns sour when our heroine is asked to contribute half of the cost for a crib – a whopping $4.5K! And that’s just her share! The crib, a Lydian Crib, Walnut w/24k G with a custom pink paint job, totals over $9K. When she refuses to contribute such an exorbitant sum, she’s labeled as selfish and disinvited from the baby shower. The drama doesn’t end there, as her siblings join the boycott, refusing to buy an overpriced stroller. Now, the once joyous occasion has turned into a family feud. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

That’s a wildly inappropriate ask from your sister. 8k for crib is nuts. Incredibly stupid. 8k in a 529 plan would pay for her college. Buying an 8k crib is the equivalent to lighting cash on fire. Only a selfish a**hole would ask their parents to waste money like that.
