[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate hand me downs. I do not want someone's used clothes for myself or my child even if it is in great condition. Of course, I would probably nicely accept them because I would feel bad and then donate them[/quote]

Every clothing item your baby wears is brand new?[/quote]

Yes, it is. It is not expensive at all though, mainly target. I just do not feel comfortable putting someone elses socks or shirts on my child. I do not look down on anyone that likes or needs handmedowns, but they just aren't for me[/quote]

It's not like it's a complete stranger though, it's your friend's child?  And they are babies!  And you wash them!  This is the silliest thing I've ever heard.[/quote]

(NP) so what if you know where they are coming from.  I agree, I prefer buying clothing for my kids to hand-me-downs.  But I have of course passed clothes from my oldest dd to my youngest--because I picked the clothes.  I like my kids to look good.

We can accept that you want to accept leftovers from others; no need to say it's "silly" for us not to feel the same as you do.[/quote]

This board is so depressing - I should have been a lawyer and married a lawyer, and then I would have enough money to buy baby gap and designer clothes for my children.  Instead I get by on hand me downs and GASP! department store clothes.  My kids must be dressed so fugly compared to yours, PP.  You probably wouldn't want to me my friend because my kids are dressed so poorly.[/quote]

If you are feeling depressed by the comments of a random stranger whom you will never meet, you need therapy (or meds).  Why do so many people on this board take it personally when someone has a different opinion about something?  Grow up.  (Incidentally, I never mentioned a thing about being a lawyer, or only buying designer clothing.  Also, I don't give a rat's ass about how anyone else dresses their kid.  I wouldn't want to be your friend because you whine too much, not because of how you dress your kids.)[/quote]
