I am really cross about this, am I overreacting?

I have a friend who has a little boy a year younger than my middle son who is now 7. When he was a baby they didn't have a lot of money and I lent her all my bags of baby clothes from my 2 boys - all lovely stuff Next and John Lewis & M&S, all well looked after much of it hardly worn, on a loan basis as was hoping to persuade dh for one more.

She returned the bags to me with thanks once he had grown out of them and they went back in the loft with my dreams... and reader, I have just had my 3rd little son oh the joy!

Anyway my little fella is now into his 3-6 clothes so got the bag out of the loft and every single item of clothing in it is ruined - yellow milk stains all over everything, many items not washed with 5 year old food on. There were some beautiful things in there and not one item is unaffected.

I haven't actually heard much from this friend since I told her I was pregnant and now I am wondering if this is why - I have gone through my other carefully stored bags and all the clothes are the same. I am fuming and really upset. If she had told me, I could have maybe salvaged some at the time, think it is too late now and they will all have to go in the bin.

Aaaaargh - I think this is bang out of order, what do you all think?

I had a big sort out last weekend, and attempted to put together some baby clothes for my nephew. I was mortified at the stains on most of them, and how the colours had faded. I KNOW they were put away beautifully clean and pressed. But there must have been milk in the fabric that didn't come out in the wash. They were packed away less than a year ago.

If your friend really did return them unwashed then that is hugely unpleasant and I say that as someone who is rubbish at almost everything related to housekeeping! I don't know if I would make an issue of it with her but I would be pissed off!
