[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really think your kid will never wear a onesie just because you don’t love the pattern? Newsflash: you’re going to need a zillion Carter’s onesies with a baby and many will end up with barf and poop stains on them. You will need extras for child care, your diaper bag, the car, etc. None of what she’s giving you sound like things you wouldn’t use and you sound, frankly, whiny and ungrateful. If you don’t want your friends giving you hand me downs, just tell them. Don’t complain to DCUM. You’re not a victim with your friend offloading garbage on you like you’re trying to convey. You’re not communicating yourself to your friend and that’s on you. And also, when you find your newborn going through a zillion onesies in a day in a few months and changing sheets frequently due to puke and blowouts you’ll realize what a diva you sounded like complaining about these hand me downs and maybe you will realize you should have held onto them. Sheesh. [/quote]

This is so stupid. People are allowed to not like things. Yeah kids go through a lot of onesies, but guess what? I still don't want to look at ugly ones even if they're covered in poop. Or onesies that have gross sayings on them. Having kids doesn't have to mean completely sacrificing all sense of taste or preferences.
