[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know if her family struggled when she was young? My MIL grew up in rural WV and had very little when she was young and she hates that I do thread-up, consignment, and hand-me-downs for my kids. Everyone is different. [/quote] Many people that grew up extremely poor want only "new" clothes for their kids.[/quote] Or people like new stuff for their families. [/quote] It's definitely a class tell.[/quote] I grew up very UMC, with fully paid for private high school, college, and medical school from my parents. And I loved buying new baby clothes for my kids. LOVED it. I do, however, hand them down in lovely condition to a friend with younger kids who prefers hand me downs. For me, it's not a "class tell", it's just that I love buying new clothes for my babies. [/quote] +1. One of the pleasures of motherhood is to shop for your child. [/quote]
