[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The takeaway here is not to assume someone wants your hand-me-downs. Ask BEFORE you bring them over instead of putting people on the spot. [/quote] So many people have stated this but it really is true. Ask first. I was on bedrest very early before having twins. I couldn't get out and shop. Coworkers, neighbors, old friends were so generous that I was overwhelmed with things people were dropping off. It can be overwhelming to sort through the stuff and figure out what to do with it especially for a first time mom. I was always appreciative and sent thank you notes. I think it can be overwhelming even for women with a normally progressing pregnancy. The situation that made me want to be rude was the friend who, after dropping off 3 trash bags of stuff that my mil and I had sorted by size/age with other stuff, informed me months later she wanted the stuff back when I was done.[/quote]
