Babies R Us is just plain evil on so many levels. Sure, my wife and I shop there, rather frequently might I add. We had our registry there. From the outside looking in, you would think it’s my favorite store. It’s not. Babies R Us is pure evil, and so are other places that justify their ridiculously high prices on emotional impulse rather than the true value of the product.

My parents raised me fine without wipe warmers and vibrating crib mattresses, or tummy time gyms. I want the best for child and family, but Babies R Us is filled to the tee with high-priced baby crap that you and your simply child don’t need.

Take my advice, so your wallet doesn’t take a hit. When shopping there, don’t get all emotionally suckered into spending your paycheck only to turn around justify your ludicrous behavior on the fact that “it’s for the kids”.  Keep in mind that the best thing you can provide your children is love, care, guidance, and security. Don’t pay $300 for some electronic rocker that your baby will sit in once or twice, stick the basics.

Bottom-line, there are 3 things that people typically go overboard and pay way too much for; weddings, funerals, and babies. Fair Warning.
