Today we went over to my SIL's and of course my husband's grandma was there. I really can't stand being around her only because she keeps trying to give me hand me downs from her son who I've never really seen but they keep leaving their baby things at my husband's grandma's so she thinks that she needs to "give" us their baby stuff. They had a girl and we are having a boy. Anyways she is telling me that she has so much stuff to give us and I'm like oh thank you that's very considerate until she tells me that she didn't actually get anything for her great Grand child she just wants to get this baby stuff out of her garage 😣 so she goes "oh there is a walker." Sorry grandma we already have a walker for our son. "Oh well they also left a car seat." Grandma we already have a car seat in mind that I'm not budging on. It's what I want and we don't want a newborn carrier car seat. "Well then what am I suppose to do with this stuff. It's just sitting in my garage and I need to get rid of it." Garage sale, salvation army, planned parenthood, or the trash...
I don't mind hand me downs but I've learned you don't take a hand me down car seat for one because you never know whether that car seat has been in a car wreck and second everything that was offered is covered in hot pink. Clearly very girly and she goes oh Well you can just paint it or just over look that colors 😠 just freaking frustrating as hell.

@lilmama83, Huh?! The stuff she was forcing on me was baby girl things not baby boy. That was one of the issues.

@courtneywarner, I know right?! Those words came out of her mouth and I'm like oh yeah use paint on something that my child could have their mouth on. That's smart.

I am the same way. I really really don't like hand me downs especially from people I don't know. It just doesn't sit well with me as well as its my first baby and I don't wanna risk anything.

@petal, That's exactly how I feel plus with my first child I was just 17, couldn't work and we barely had anything so unfortunately I wasn't able to give my daughter everything I wanted but now that I'm 25 and financially stable I'm more than willing to buy brand new and know that no animal peed on it and things like that.

Exactly. I just get too worried and kinda frustrated that a certain someone keeps pushing it on to me like "oh this person had a girl and the neighbor had a girl they could give you stuff" like no I don't know them or how they raised their baby and who knows where what's been.

@petal, Exactly. Someone who gets it.
