So we had a beautiful baby boy on August 12th. A couple that we're friends with has a 20 month old boy, so they donated us several massive bags of baby clothes. Most of it ranges from 9 to 12 months.
The problem is that I don't like most of the clothes, they have slogans on them or cartoon characters and I prefer plain coloured baby clothes. Also some of them look a bit ragged.
My sister has a 4 1/2 year old boy and she's loaned me his baby clothes. I need to give them back once my boy has grown out of them, which is fine for me. Her style is however more in line with mine.
My mother also likes purchasing clothes for my boy. So with my sister's clothes, my mother's gifts and the occasional purchase from us we will manage fine.
So I was thinking of donating our friend's clothing to charity. Do you think that is okay or does that make me a bad friend?
When they brought the clothes over I didn't look at them for a couple of days. When I finally discovered they weren't my style I was too polite to contact them and told them I didn't like them. I didn't want to appear like a snob. Technically it doesn't matter what a baby wears as they grow out of it so quickly anyway, but I don't want to put my baby in clothes I don't like.
We live in a 3 bed room semi detached house and I feel like these unwanted 5
clothes take up a massive amount of spaces, so I want to get rid.
