[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since Op has offered no details -- clearly the bigger message is: Op chose to believe that her SIL was offended.

I suspect this is the same OP that has been starting anti-SIL threads and never returning to provide useful information  or comments. We’re on to you, OP![/quote]

OP here. This was actually my first post about anything pertaining to someone, I didn’t have a chance to read most of the reply’s until now.

To add more info:

I certainly wasn’t dumping scraps on her, in fact, I had a box of things to donate and a box of nicer items I wanted to pass down. High end children's clothing.

How I knew she was offended was I mentioned to her, “I have a box of girls size 4 clothes in the car, do you want them for (her daughters name), they are all in great condition and from x, x, x.”  She declined and said, “we are good.”  She rolled her eyes but I let it go.  I said, “that’s fine, I can give them to (other friend) or donate them. I need to go to goodwill anyways.” That was the very short, polite, interaction. We then hugged goodbye. We normally get along very well.

Later that evening I got a text that said along the lines of “just so you know, we don’t need your hand me downs and we have plenty of clothes for our own kids” I replied “I never was suggesting that was not the case. I have always been happy to accept hand me downs from friends. Message received.” She replied another snarky remark along the lines of it was a rude offer and her family doesn’t do that. I didn’t reply. [/quote]
