I am struggling to work out if IABU or not?
Today SIL asked me - on the hop - what I am doing with my baby clothes. I told her I was just putting them in storage (she knows no more babies are planned) and she asked if I minded passing some stuff on to her sister.... whom I have met once.
I said of course but my gut reaction is that I don't want to give someone I barely know a load of baby clothes. Saying it out loud sounds ludicrously selfish (would I really rather all the lovely clothes be in my folks loft that being used??). I am pretty sure one day my sister will have another baby and I have a friend and another SIL trying so I guess I assumed one day they could have the baby clothes? one of them has to have a girl??
I am not massively attached to the clothes, I don't want any money for them and yes I did overbuy so some things weren't worn much BUT still I don't want to just hand them over to someone I don't know.
They would be given and not loaned (I had someone loan me stuff and it was a pita and I ended up giving them back. I don't expect someone else to faff about keeping "my" stuff separate!)
AIBU?
