Seen on facebook

Pram .Free for collection.Bought for £500 twenty years ago and stored for grandchildren that haven't arrived.

It gave me quite a pang to think that there must be a really sad back story to this.

Either that or they’re trying to make their child feel guilty for not having kids

GlassSuppers · 05/09/2018 18:32

Bit of a strange description to be honest!

SerenDippitty · 05/09/2018 18:34

Grandchildren are not a given in life any more than children are.

What a huge overshare

Facebook is weird

Ugh, it's like the sort of thing DM would do.

DollyWilde · 05/09/2018 18:36

Sounds like a bit of a guilt trip imo.

Oh god is this my mum? Grin

£500 twenty years ago Shock

Either that or it’s a selling tactic.

Maliali · 05/09/2018 18:39

Either something tragic happened to an intended occupant or it’s a bloody strange thing to buy a pram in case a grandchild or two is born.

It’s like the winner of one short short story contest.

‘Baby shoes for sale. Never worn’

It does seem a bit tmi but people would want to know why they are selling a brand new 20 year old thing so better to explain in the advert.

If I wasn’t sure that my MIL isn’t on Facebook, I’d put money on this being her.

No need for that detail.

Surely it’s enough to say it hasn’t been used, it’s none of anyone else’s business why.
