2nd Trimester

second hand

so I have a big family think big fat greek wedding a few cousins have offered me baby stuff all in good condition because i know how these girls are. I am so taking them up on them but my MIL says ohh you want to use already spit up on pooped on cloths. UH yeah its called a washing machine . I wanted to say unless you want to buy us all that ***. ughh why does this woman have to be so?frustrating?sometimes . normally i love her and we get along fine but sometimes she says the?dumbest?things.

Re: second hand

  • I'd kindly suggest that if she doesn't want her grandkid in any hand-me-downs, she needs to go stock up the baby's closet herself. Otherwise, a few gently used items won't hurt the kid, the kid won't know anyway, and they will have been washed and cleaned.?

    I wouldn't have a problem with gently used items- I've bought a couple outfits from a resale shop myself. ?

  • yea i know because they only wear them a few times before there into the next size. i still am going to buy new also but it would be nice to not have to buy so much and mix in some used stuff
  • Ask her if she needs help holding her nose in the air! It must be challenging for her. Seriously! Take the clothes! :) Most of my dd's clothing is second hand. Honestly, baby clothes are great because they grow out of them so fast that they rarely get worn out! I never kept any second hand clothes that were stained, and they looked brand new. Your MIL will never know the difference! :)

  • Once the baby comes I would put her in an adorable USED outfit on a day your MIL is coming over and once she says how cute it is, say casually yeah that was used from........
