Need advice please!

posted 4th Mar
Ok so i'm almost 25..I have two kids one 3 and one 6 months and i've determined i'm done. My second one was not planned so i had gotten rid of practically all the stuff from my first child so we bought just about everything new.. Jumperoo swing playmat bouncy seat... One of my practically life long friends ended up pregnant (well his wife who i've known for awhile too) and i told them that was awesome and that they could have my stuff if they wanted it. I gave her all my maternity clothes with the only stipulation that if she didnt like any of it or didnt think it would fit etc that she give them back so i could find someone who could use them. She gives me the whole bag back unopened..Ok that's fine.. But now they don't talk to me AT ALL.. No emails no phone calls NOTHING. Should I still feel obligated to give them the stuff even though they're pretty well treating me like i don't exist?

I would find someone else who wants/needs it more. Maybe they are just the kind of people who like to always have stuff brand new.

Wow, thats really rude! My sister gave me a lot of hand me downs, and I was SO grateful for all of it. Give it to someone who will appreciate it more!

I would ask them if they are still interested. Maybeyour style and her's was very different. Maybe she was **shock** offended by hand-me-downs. I know I love it when people share with me, but some people are weirded out by that.

i agree i wouldnt give it to them either.

i dont know if its their first pregnancy, but i know from others and myself that the first time around i loved to be able to have new things. just as the 2nd 3rd etc come along you realise that second hand is great....

I don't think you should feel obligated at all...

Whatever their reason is for not talking to you is their business, and if they'd like to share I'm sure that would be great... However, I don't think they're going to.

There is no reason for you to worry about them if they're not talking to you anymore...especially for unknown reasons.

I say find someone else that needs them or even put them for sale on Craigslist in your area... No reason you shouldn't be able to make a few extra bucks...

i wouldnt give it to them...is this their first baby???? i know i was funny about 2nd hand clothes when i had my 1st but not the bigger things like cot, pram, toys etc..... if they arent even talking to you now how will you feel after you give them the stuff and then they continue not to talk to you???? if it will piss you off probably best not to go there and try to keep the friendship............wow i need maternity clothes i would be happy with a pillo0w case with a hole in the top for my head LOL............maternity stuff soooooooo expensive here like $40 to $50 just for a shirt and over $60 for jeans (and thats at k-mart) you think that she would have at least looked at them....hope you can find someone more appreciative to give all your stuff 2

And i mean the maternity clothes were in good condition.. Name brand stuff.. And all the stuff from my son is the fisher price rainforest theme..the swing is barely used because he's a big baby and he didnt end up in it often..So its not like the stuff i was trying to give her was shabby.. It's her first but her two sisters have three between them so i'm sure she'll be geting lots of handmedowns..and her husband (who's been my friend for 12 years) Said he'd love to have the swing and stuff that its just more stuff they can ask for on their registry and stuff.. So i dunno what the deal is.. I may check out craigslist.. this stuff wasn't cheap..lol

how rude. I hate people like that. Ya if you aren't going to have any more children then I would look into selling it on craigs list. If that doesn't work you can always go to a second hand baby store and sell it
