To be annoyed that someone is selling clothes that I gifted to them

So my DPs cousin had a baby

I mentioned that have tons of clothes from DD that she is welcome to have if she likes which she accepted

When I went round to give her the clothes there were 4 bin bags full. I said for her to go through them in her own time and whatever she doesn't want to just give me back as a few of my friends are also pregnant at the mo and they could be passed on

Anyway il get to the point that she has been selling ALL these clothes on a local selling site in bundles, even clothes that wouldn't even for her DD just yet!

Oh along with her DS1 birthday present that we bought him less than 2 weeks ago!

I wouldn't ask for the money. But I'd make it pretty clear that that was not the deal and that you won't be giving her anything else

YABU for using the word 'gifted' instead of 'gave'.

This point may already have been made!

NewtRipley · 22/01/2014 17:32

lady

bugbear of yours?

MrsArthurWellesley · 22/01/2014 17:38

I love these threads and I love them even more when the op has the balls to actually confront the AIBU-er rather than whining for 400 posts that they're really very cross but don't want to grow a pair do anything about it.

Hurrah for you op!

Nataleejah · 22/01/2014 17:48

Asking for money would be a very bad idea. You didn't LEND the stuff, you gave away something you didn't need any longer, right?

lollipoppi · 22/01/2014 18:03

Mrsarthur I actually can't believe I grew a pair and actually text her, still no reply, which makes me suspicious as she is the queen of rapid replies!

Lady, sorry, promise to consult the MN dictionary in future Grin

I won't be asking for any money, even of she has already sold them, it's not the point of it, I just would have liked for my friends to have the clothes

Text her again- which day works best for me to pick up the clothes, Sat. or Sun.?

She says she likes all of them, blow her cover. 'So that's why you are selling them on X?'

Ten go on the site and tell everyone what a grabby cow she is.

pigletmania · 22/01/2014 18:34

Good idea expat, don't give her anymore clothes now you know they will be sold. She is a cheeky meare, you asked fir ones she did not use back.

SpottyDottie · 22/01/2014 18:34

FFS Stop waiting for a text back, which in all likelihood isn't coming and confront the grabby cow. How dare she sell everything off like that. They're yours!

If you allow people to walk all over you, they will.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/01/2014 20:51

It could be an 'adgate'!

Sorry, can't come up with anything funnier Sad

Supercosy · 22/01/2014 20:57

Blimey, what a cheeky cow! Your text was such a great idea though...way to put her on the spot. Well done!

Piggytastic · 22/01/2014 21:03

Lurking!

Debates stepping away to eat my dinner, whilst waiting for an update...

Sleepyhead33 · 22/01/2014 21:15

How rude of her! I can't believe she is blatantly selling YOUR clothes. Do update though!

Pimpf · 22/01/2014 21:18

Unbelievably cheeky of her.

lollipoppi · 22/01/2014 21:34

Sorry to disappoint but still no reply!!

Its my DDs birthday tomorrow so she will have to text to at least say happy birthday!

Oh dear, she is probably sweating and wondering what on earth she is going to say to excuse what she has done which is a clear indication that she knows it is unacceptable.

selsigfach · 22/01/2014 22:18

Cheeky cow! Can't wait to see what she texts back.

mumofapirate · 22/01/2014 23:19

post on her wall on facebook ask if she got your message
