[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you'l come across as ungrateful and snobby. Sorry.

I am one who loved to get hand me downs. I passed my hand me downs to others who liked getting them - I know because she put her kids in my kids old clothes.

Just take them to Salvation Army or goodwill. [/quote]

NP here. You literally cannot take these things to a donation center right now. As OP mentioned in her post.[/quote]

OP here, that is my point. In normal circumstances I would say nothing and donate anything I didnt want but the places I know are closed. And the two parking lot clothing depositories near us are gone.

Amid Corona, I want to stop the random texts of "I left some stuff outside your front door."  I think I will say something next time. I get it kids are messy etc etc. But we have a lot of stuff already.  I am in the 3rd trimester I have already read the pregnancy books.

[b]Oof, unsolicited drop-off donations would be annoying even in non-covid times; now, it’s just nuts.

Tell this woman (if she actually does this again) that you’re all set for clothes and everything for now, and that you’ve run out of space for extra stuff, and like “thanks so much for thinking of me, I hope you understand!”[/quote][/b]

This.  This lady is using you as a recycling bin.  Just tell her thank you but you can no longer accept donations due to limited space and you have all the baby stuff you require.[/quote]
