DD's ten. She and her friends often pass and swap clothing between themselves.
Either the child or a Mum will say "Oh I've brought these clothes for any kid that want them" and the kids will just look through and see if there's anything they want.
Usually it happens when they've grown out of them, it's a normal part of the culture. DD passes things on and receives things too. Often it's the same child getting stuff from taller kids...so any child bigger than DD will pass things down and then DD passes things to friends smaller than her...and so on.
We're in Australia and it's now winter here...so it's getting colder and wetter.
I saw yesterday that one of her friends, a boy, has big holes in the top of his trainers. He often looks scruffy and I know his Mum is unemployed and struggles.
I gave DD a pair of boots bought for her last year but unworn as "they're boys boots"....(eye roll) she wouldn't wear them and now they're too small. They are good boots and I'm pretty sure they will fit her mate.
I told her to give them to her friend and say she'd grown out of them and they've not been worn.
But now I am worried the boy's mum will be offended. 
If it were one of her other friends, I probably wouldn't think twice...but because we've never really passed anything onto him, I'm a tiny bit worried but did it without thinking.
I told DD "If they don't fit him or he doesn't want them just bring them home and we will take them to charity"
Have I been insensitive?
