WHy would somebody turn down baby clothes when are in bad shape financially. SIL is having a ds and I'm having a dd I have a ds and I offered to give her some of ds baby clothes. I said don't worry they are in excellent condition since some of the clothes he only wore 1-2 times. She said thank you but I prefer that he have new clothes. MIL was shocked since she knows that they are in bad shape financially and they could use the help. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

pride. she's ashamed, and all your gossip about what "bad shape" they're in financially is not helping. [ Reply | More ]

OP: maybe, they are mostly gap, gymboree and some janie and jack. I've seen some of the stuff she bought and it looks like we have similar taste. [ Reply | More ]

lots of people want all new stuff for their kids. esp #1--they've been waiting their whole lives to buy this stuff. donate your stuff and stop worrying about their finances [ Reply | More ]

that attitude is why she's in such bad financial shape. i bought most of dd's baby clothes at a consignment store and on ebay. we are by no means financially strapped. [ Reply | More ]

this if f'd up. We are ok financially and we take all hand me down we can get. It's so much better then new crap all the time. It's better for the environment. Kids only wear the stuff for 5 minutes half the time if at all and the ugliest most horrid thing will become the fav and they'll only wear that for 2 years [ Reply | More ]
