[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very hard to be a minimalist with babies and little kids.  If you have a place to stash them away, I’d do that.  I had a kid who spit up constantly and we went through bibs like crazy.  Clothes that aren’t your taste are also very useful for daycare back up clothes, messy play, etc.  I think you can easily turn down the big stuff, but you may find you really need the items she’s gifting.  I had 3-4 mattress pads and regularly used them all between laundry days.  [/quote]

Isn't she precious? Minimalist. Barf. She'll learn. See ya in a few months op, humbled. [/quote]

I have no illusions that the child will be a mess, that things will be very different.  But i dont have to keep things I dont want; i will acquire the things we want.  Bc of Coronoa I am not being given the opportunity to decline bc she leaves stuff at my front door. [/quote]

Not OP but I’m a minimalist mom with a two year old now and all his clothes could have fit in one storage box, you can absolutely be a minimalist and care about what you bring in your house, what you dress your kid with, and the bibs you use. Sorry you’re a hoarder. [/quote]
