To keep everything for non existent second child

I have a friend having twins 30 weeks pregnant and asked for some of my 1 year olds bits that they’ve grown out of shoes clothes etc

but I’ve been saving everything for when I eventually have a second child although I don’t intend to start trying for another year or even 2

am I being unreasonable? how much do other people keep because at this point I’m just saving everything from vests to trainers bibs anything that’s not stained

Keep it. It’s unreasonable of her to expect your things without a you offering it, not unreasonable of you to keep it just in case.

I cant imagine having the cheek to ask! I kept everything and using it all again for my second girl despite 4 years age difference. Kept everything.

Keep it. You are not being unreasonable. I think its sensible to keep it if you want to try again. Dont feel guilty saying no either.

I think most people keep baby items when they know they will try for another in the near future.

But also plenty of people loan them to friends or family when they have a baby and then get them back.

Neither is unreasonable.
