[quote=Anonymous][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]

Or maybe people like new things. New clothes, new household goods and appliances, new electronics—get it? I have a friend who is putting in a new bathroom—hope she doesn’t offer me her toilet, lol.

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][/quote]
