A friend of mine has a young baby boy. We don't meet up much but have done a few times since she has become a mum.
She came round for coffee and chat. I had been having a huge clear out of stuff. Cleared out our baby toys and I was intending to sell some on a local website once I had taken photos.
All great condition, I had cleaned it all up and really great stuff.
Whilst my friend was at mine I said she could have a look through the toys if she wanted. She had a brief look, said there was loads she would love and she filled a huge box full. She said "Could I give you some money for these?"
I felt abit mean but my 2 boys are saving for specific toy at the moment so I said "£12 so I can give the boys £6 each for that toy they are saving for?" They only need £12.00 more each so I thought it would half their saving effort.
She said fine and I told her that her husband who I work with could pay me when I was next at work.
Now the toys she took would probably cost over £150 brand new so I stopped feeling abit mean. And I once bought a load of toys when my first child was about 9 months from a friend who had sorted them out for an NCT sale but let me have first look. So I honestly didn't think selling on toys to mates was an issue.
Anyway forward on 6 weeks. I had actually forgotten about the £12.00. Then today I overheard the husband talking about his baby boy to another colleague and he mentioned "got a vast collection of baby toys from Pancakeflipper. Wife told me I was to give her £12.00 but she can f* off. Who sells toys to their mates? How tight is that? And it's not like she's on the bread line."
Colleague agreed I was a tight cow.
Now I feel I am mean.
I honestly didn't mean to be mean. Is it really a social no no and I am socially ignorant?
