Friend Asking For Baby Clothes

[ImNotAFlower]

I have a friend with a little girl a bit younger than mine.
When she found out she was having a girl I have her lots of my DD's baby clothes and have continued to do so when I have had bits to pass on.
Today I received a text asking if I had any clothes as her DD has had a growth spurt.
I am totally prepared to be told IABU but I am really put out at being asked, particularly as the text went on to say "don't worry" if I don't have any.
My understanding is you are grateful if given but expect nothing?
I don't know how to reply to the text without sounding blunt.
My first AIBU ladies be gentle!

Wow sorry I just caught up. I do wonder if it had been a face to face conversation if I would have felt differently and perhaps because it was a text I have interpreted it wrong.
To put it into context she is an old school friend who I haven't seen since before Christmas and our last contact was 6 weeks ago by text.
But to be honest none of that matters, the majority think IAMBU and I consider myself corrected .

Gosh it wouldn't occur to me that this was rude and I have been asked by loads of friends and asked others myself. Maybe it's just the culture in my friendship group! If I'd given clothes before re (so obviously wasn't keeping them all) I would assume she was just checking before she bought new that you didn't have some.... I don't think it's rude. If she didn't take no for an answer, that would be rude!

Whats the big deal if ur friend needs them and your finished with them and would take them to a charity shop? id rather used clothes that no longer fit go to an old friend than sit collecting dust yabu petty and just not a nice friend to even think this way

Can see other sides to this. My DD is the youngest in the group and my friends have been very generous with clothes. I often get offered bags of stuff after I've only just spent money on new clothes, so from a planning perspective it's very tempting to ask. Classic example was buying DD a new swimming costume then within a couple of weeks we were give four by friends (one has twins).

After that I did think of texting friends along similar lines as your friend did but ultimately decided against it.

I don't really think she was BU to ask though

OhForTheLoveOfGin, maybe "where do you buy swimming costumes/ raincoats for your dds?" could be employed here. Give them a chance to say they have some to pass on.

Yabvvu considering you gave to her in the past. Why are you offended , just say no I've given away.
