One of my cousins has just found out she's pregnant again. She already has a three year old boy, and when we had our baby last year, although we hardly ever see her (not very close due to age gap & distance) she donated via my aunt a big old box of clothes and quite a few toys, which we were very grateful for. We double checked that they weren't a loan, feeling like it was a bit odd to be giving away stuff that they may use again, but my aunt said she was apparently swearing blind that they weren't having any more kids.
So all her donations got mixed up with our own purchases, gifts etc. Once he'd gone past the age ranges, we boxed up what we will use again (hoping to start trying again later this year), and charity shopped the rest.
Now she's pregnant again, I'm worried that she'll expect clothes back, if not the same ones, then an offer of what we have, but I really don't want to give any away when we will be using it again in the future, and I don't want to loan it out as that gets super complicated... If she'd indicated at all she might want them back I'd have labelled them and kept them separated! I don't even know if she'll ask, but I've no idea what I'll say if she does!
So AIBU to just keep my packed up baby clothes for no.2 in my loft and not offer them to her??
