Sigh... so many false assumptions made off one post by OP. I don't understand the need to take down a fellow female like she's fresh bait being held over a pool of piranhas. The hormones that likely caused her to post are the same hormones that caused the rude comments (I hope). Yes this is the Internet and by posting anyone can respond as he or she wishes; I just don't understand the need to make another woman feel so uncomfortable and regret posting altogether. All these nasty remarks are made and then you wonder why she deletes the original text? It's not just this thread... this happens here on N15 all the time. Why not just move along to another post that meets your standards instead? I fully expect some rude comments in response to this comment and that will only prove the point. You may disagree with my statement here, but this isn't opinion... it's observation.
Some things:
-Ugh to women who refer to other women as "females".
-Hormones are not an excuse for anyone's actions. I am in control of myself and what you see here is what I am. I am not a 12 year old girl who just got her first period. Anyone who is using hormones as an excuse for how they are acting needs to learn some self-control.
-Why is it that when someone creates a thread we are all assholes for giving our input? Why are we told to "move along" but no one else has to? Take your own advice and move past our responses if you don't like them. It works both ways. You all do realize that we didn't reach in to their brains and locate the thought right? They came to a public forum and asked for opinions or "needed to vent". And if you can't deal with the possibility of getting answers you may not like, maybe you shouldn't ask the public.
Ummmm... I didnt read all of the responses but.....im sorry you feel this way....Send me whatever you dont want and I will be happy to drop it off at the local shelter. no biggies

AMAZINGLY said, I can't even tell you how on point this is (or how hard I'm totally crushing right now for that matter). At the end of the day, it's OP's choice with how to receive these lovely gifts and how to handle the over bearing first world burden of free things that are not up to her standards. As a piranha, my appetite leans heavily to comment with realistic answers, despite how other fishies feel about it.

Ok, hang on here. How am I being judged now? Have all of you kept every single gift you have ever gotten in your life? I am far from ungrateful for receiving the gifts we got--this is our first baby after having had two losses back to back so don't any of you dare to call me ungrateful if you are going to comment on a question and advice I am looking for. I have gone to a zillion resale shops to shop for my items--my post is not complaining about anything being "cheap" etc. So much for some support. I am sorry that all of you have this all figured out and I clearly don't.
Clearly you know you were being ungrateful and childish because you dirty deleted.
