Would you be offended?

TexasHarmony

So I have this cousin who is having her third boy and is married to a real loser (you know who I am talking about).  Anyway, she is staking claim to a lot of Joseph's stuff.  Whatever, it isn't like I have to give it to her.  I'll give her some stuff, but certainly not everything.  So this is where I am offended.

She tells me that J is so cute in the pictures she has seen, but she can't show her carnie because of the way J is dressed and that she would never dress her kid in such offensive clothes.  Then she back pedals and says well, K (my H) is like M (the carnie) and they have the same taste (uh, nothing alike.  At all), so that is why she doesn't want M to see the clothes because he'll want them and she just can't see putting  her kids in things with skulls on them.  Uh, ok.  J has the swim trunks and rashguard from Gymboree (https://tinyurl.com/ntvqqe)...I am not sure how that is so terrible.  FFS, she married a carnie.  She doesn't have stellar taste.

Anyway, that comment makes me not want to give her anything at all.  She doesn't have to like the outfit, but she doesn't have to tell me that my kids clothes are horrid.

I imagine she'll be horrified to see Avery's birthday outfit given that it is a pirate them.

First off I have to LOL at the idea of gymbo=offensive. Might not be everyone's style, but offensive? Yeah, that's how big kid's clothes companies make their money, by being offensive.

She's rude, but I don't think I would be really offended. You already know she has lousy taste.

I would just make a mental note to only give her clothes hand-me-downs that were gifted to you that you think are hideous and call it done.

And for any other baby stuff that you don't want to give her that she is "claiming" (really? who does that??) I think I might accidentally "misplace" it for a few months... or sell it.

I would probably just roll my eyes, but not be offended.

What a bytch.  That is ridiculously rude & she would not be getting much from me at all.

TexasHarmony

I should add, she won't take hand me downs from anyone but me because those other people try to give her things from Wal-Mart.  I had to quip in that Wal-Mart actually has some really cute sundresses and Avery had about 6 from there that were too cute and got complimented all the time.

She married a carnie, but she's anti-wal-mart?  At least she has standards.

I'd give her the bag of princess stuff and call it a day   What an unthankful biotch....  I'd also throw anything you have from walmart into the bag...

For her boy?  All the too small princess stuff is gone.  She has said she hates character stuff and a Disney freak friend of ours gave us about 15 Disney sleepers.  I'd give them to her to piss her off, but she won't use them and I figure I can sell them at the garage sale we are planning.

I'd be offended because it was a crappy thing to say, fo sure.

And then I'd give her only the stuff you never expect to see back because you she won't return anything.

I know you said boy..  I was kidding...  Kind of...  I wouldn't send her anything..  When she asks I'd say "I didn't want to offend you"

I would do this.  And like HP said - she's trying to claim class when clearly she has none.  Honey, just because you don't want to shop at Wal-Mart doesn't mean you can buy class at Target.

This made me LOL.  And yes, Harmony, I would be offended.

 Ditto.  Plus if this is her third boy, shouldn't she have clothes to hand me down from her own kids?

So wait. She's intimate with carnies, on her third kid, complete with baby shower, and SHE'S insulting YOUR taste?

I'd be all sorts of offended. I also wouldn't give her a thing.

now that i think about it, judging by her standards I'd take it as a compliment. the less you have in common with her the better.

I wouldn't give her anything either.  In fact, I would ignore any future requests for any baby items.  Clearly she can't buy nor be handed down class.  It's not for sale.  You can take the girl out of the carnie, but you can't take the carnie out of the girl.

TexasHarmony

Y'all are awesome!

Britany - yes, third boy in 8 years.  She refuses to use anything from her other kids.  I just don't get it.  My J will be using A's pink and purple Radio Flyer pony and yet she won't even use the same changing table.  Go figure.

wow she sounds klassy.
