[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did your niece get to age 4 before you realized her mom isn't into hand me downs? Have you never offered anything ever before? Or do you do it often and she's finally saying "enough!"[/quote]

I had previously not done it because we have two girls and weren’t sure if our third would be a girl. He is a boy so now we don’t need to keep anything. [/quote]

So your stuff has been worn by two kids? Those clothes are probably rags now. If you're going to hand down they need to be in pristine condition.[/quote]

:roll: GMAB. Kids get maybe a season of wear out of most things before growing out of them, and with a closet of clothes, most of the items that don’t become favorites are worn a handful of times. Even multiplying that by 2 kids, does not mean “rags” unless these are cheap fast fashion items. We use hand me downs that come from 3 or 4 prior kids and sometimes they even have tags on them still. Get over your snobby self.[/quote]

I agree.  I did not buy high end clothes (Old Navy/Target etc).  Most were still great after 2 kids.  [b]And who needs perfection to send to camp et[/b]c.  [/quote]

People who are anxious about their real or perceived socioeconomic status. In some cases, people who are anxious about their real or perceived home treatment of their kids. [/quote]
