[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO it’s not worth the energy suck to hate on these people. How long did it take you just to write this out for instance? How long have you been stewing about this? Not being snarky, genuinely sincere based on people like this in my own life. It’s just not worth it. Shrug your shoulders and let it goooo.

Buy one big item that you take in person to the first shower then a couple smaller things for the additional showers that you don’t attend it person (like a really cute outfit).[/quote]

Or, I dunno, maybe not send anything at all (since it sounds like the SIL chose to get rid of things she already had, and won’t accept gently used items) is the way to go. Call this situation what it is: a flagrant display of materialism. Multiple showers for a second child with multiple invites to the same person is tacky. People are well within their rights to make registries and enjoy having only brand new things for their child, but to act as if these asks won’t have a bad look to a lot of people is ridiculous.

OP, give what you would routinely give for another family member or close friend’s second child (some nice outfits, maybe some new books or fresh teething toys, etc). You don’t need to do any more than that.[/quote]
