Best friend had a big gap between her first and second child, like ten years, and in the intervening time I had mine. She was generous and shared lots of things with us, including a cot, all of which I returned - cleaned, in good condition, for her second child a few years ago, as well as lots of things (breast pump, sterilizer, baby food maker etc) that I had also bought for my own children. When she then had her third (2nd and 3rd quite close together), I also passed on my hardly used Bill and Teds double buggy. So the habit has been 'share but then return'. However I just heard from her that she has sold that buggy on eBay as it was too big for her to manage apparently. Now, I suspect it's unlikely I'll have another child but a) you never know and b) hang on, we never discussed that! DH is not bothered and says she did us a favour getting rid of it and life's too short to get pissy over something that you can't change (he is laid back to the point of permanent recline). To be fair, we have never used the word borrow or loan but I think that's the precedent that was set with all the things that I returned - and didn't sell - from her first child. I don't want to say anything really as life's too short and husband thinks I'm being petty as we don't 'need' it but I am feeling miffed and a bit hurt to be honest. AIBU?
