My mum's friend had a baby girl at the end of February. Our dd is 8 months older than her.
I had loads of beautiful baby girl clothes ranging from 0-9 months from dd so rather than give them to charity shop I texted and asked her would she like them. I also had a cradle and a few other items we no longer needed and asked would she like them too. She said yes, she'd love them.
I spent hours here one night washing and drying all the clothes and inspecting them - anything stained etc was chucked out. I arranged them into little bags labelled by age. There was loads of little outfits barely worn and some that still had tags as dd was a big baby and some didn't fit. Next, mothercare, designers at debhanams etc.. Cot sheets/ blankets/ grobags/ vests/ socks/ hats etc
This is her 6th baby and they are on benefits so don't have much money so I was delighted to give them to someone who would appreciate them.
I drove out of my way to drop them off at her husbands parents house (they live far away) for him to bring them home.
That's about 8 weeks ago. She hasn't texted to say she got them/ liked then/ thank you. Nothing.
I'm bringing it up now as I have more clothes as dd has moved out of her 9-12 month things and don't know whether to pass them along to her again. I asked my mum did she know if she received them and she said yes, she got them and would love more :-s
Am I being overly sensitive? I don't expect a banner but a quick text saying thank you would have been nice.
