To not want to be given baby clothes?

[theenchantedforests]

It's a long-awaited for, desperately wanted, very probably only, baby girl, due end of November.

And we have been INUNDATED. Not presents but just bags and bags of stuff and I feel horrible, but I don't want it. I want to buy our own things.

AIBU to politely say no? Yesterday our neighbour was knocking on the door giving us bags her granddaughter had outgrown and looked a bit offended when I said no thanks!

We did get given some baby clothes that the giver did want returning once our DC had grown out of them. Although they did tell us this when they gave them to us. Most people didn't want baby clothes back.

Having done this once, I'd now refuse any such loans of baby clothes. It's a right PITA having to worry about not getting them damaged by everyday activities, and having to keep track of them.
