[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about the clothes. It's about being connected to another parent and child. It's a sweet way of being part of a net of people. Some like being connected to their fellow human beings, and some suck. Er, don't.[/quote] +1 I didn't have family to pass DD's clothes too but did pass them on to a friend with a slightly younger/much smaller girl. Her DD loved to pick out a dress from her friend. I was also happy to get hand-me-downs from a neighbor and a cousin. Why should I was $$$ on new clothes that will fit for six months. Reading OPs, follow up, I think she handled it perfectly fine -- she didn't insist, she curated a nicer set to pass along, offered if SIL wanted them but not pressure. SIL chose to be a snot about it, not just at the party but went so far as to rudely text her later. I assume SIL is insecure. And, maybe they are having financial problems and worried that OP is aware of it?[/quote]
