She Doesn’t Want To Give Her Sister Her Baby’s Bassinet, And Her Sister Said It’s Not Fair Since She Has Enough Money To Go Buy Another One

This woman, 28, has a 15-month-old daughter. A few months ago, her daughter no longer needed to sleep in a bassinet.
A few weeks ago, she found out that she was pregnant. Her husband works as a surgeon, and she had previously had a job at a bank.
However, she recently started working remotely, and she saw a decrease in her income. Despite this, she and her husband are still financially comfortable.
Her 23-year-old sister, Rachel, is currently six months pregnant, and this is her first child.
“She is going to be a single mother. She is struggling a bit, and she works as a receptionist, only part-time. She has our family’s support,” she said.
A while ago, Rachel asked her if she could have her bassinet since she wasn’t currently using it.
“I said no, and that I was saving it for this baby, so I didn’t have to go out and buy a new one,” she shared.
“She said that wasn’t fair because I had enough money to just go out and buy a new one and that she didn’t. I said she should have thought about that before getting pregnant.”
Then, Rachel told her that she was treating her unfairly and that she should allow her to have the bassinet because it would be one less thing that she would have to worry about purchasing.

“I told her absolutely not and that if she wanted one, she needed to pick up more hours and that she made this decision for herself, no one else,” she continued.
“She said I was being incredibly selfish, and later on, my mom also called and agreed with my sister, saying I should help out.”
For Rachel’s baby shower, she gave her eight gifts that Rachel had listed on the baby registry, and the gifts were pretty expensive.
And she wishes her sister was more grateful for what she’s already done to help provide for the baby. Rachel received a lot of gifts from other guests at her baby shower, too.
Understandably, she doesn’t feel willing to give her sister a bassinet that belongs to her and that she needs for her next baby.
She thinks Rachel needs to start taking ownership of her decisions and acting responsibly instead of demanding things from other people.
Do you think she was right to refuse to let Rachel have her bassinet?
