I don't have any or want to keep anything because I buy less to start with and it gets worn out by the time they've outgrown it..maybe I have 1-2 pair of shoes but that's about it...,anyone else not keep hand me down between siblings? Why?

I’ve no objection to second hand or hand me downs but no way would I dress my child in stained or torn clothing [shocked
Same!

Ds1 wore mostly boden, white company or polo so now 4 years later ds2 has it and it’s in perfect condition. Then I hand it on to charity shops - have donated a fortune in boden clothes!

My kids have way too many clothes. I see stuff I like. I buy it.
Toddler ds has about 20 summer outfits.. And its non stop rained haha.
Dd3 has 2 rails full. But hardly wears as in pre school clothes 3 days.

I don't put stained or faded on them.
I buy basics for the garden. Asda, tesco etc
But if that stained I get rid.. I know I shouldn't.
Our local fb page always has people who want the stuff so I pass down.

However dd really loves toy story, cars and dinos and has lots of pj's with them on which she outgrew so I kept as was immaculate. As was one pair of her trainers just plain white nikes so unisex I kept for ds.
