Can DD give her clothes to her friend?

[TipTapWentTheCrab]

I bought 5yo DD a second hand cardigan. She is adamant that her best friend would adore it (has pictures of rabbits, apparently BF loves these) and wants to give it to her. I think that's sweet, and as far as I'm concerned the BF is welcome to it (it only cost a few quid and DD will refuse to wear it now she's set her heart on giving it away). However, I have said no as I think it looks weird to give clothes to someone else's children? But maybe I'm overreacting and I should let DD give it to her?

If it helps DD is going round to BF's house to play tomorrow morning. But I wouldn't normally do presents for a play date (is that right?? -- I'm new to this).

I would tell the Mum exactly what your daughter said and that's why she's giving it to her.
I think that's very sweet. I would be very touched that my D friend felt like that about my D.

My DS was given a T-shirt by his friend in very similar circumstances. I was absolutely fine with it -thought it was quite sweet actually.

Dd 11 often gets stuff too small for her BFF!
Her dps buy more expensive clothes!!

Hmm, OK, thank you everyone! So it looks like DD can go ahead then!

I think it is sweet. My dd is the same age also gives and receives similar things from her friends. When a friend gives something to her I always check with the parent of the giver.

That's so lovely - what a lovely girl and a lovely friendship. I'd be touched if it were my child

*that it is ok to take. Sometimes yes it is but sometimes they give away their most prized teddy and I tell her to give it back.

Your daughter is generous. You are over thinking it.
