I totally agree. It's not that I don&#...@Nikki,<br />I totally agree. It's not that I don't want to pass some things over to her, its the whole "WOW! Look what I get since you bought it already!" Its the whole assumption. It takes me back to highschool and working my first job to buy cool clothes, only to have my little sisters snag and ruin every single piece.That;s just part of being the oldest of 6 siblings. I may have to do it, but I don't always like it:) I'm sure she will end up with a lot of my girls stuff (if she has a girl) I can just do without all the "WOWS!!"LOL Its ok, I'm sure my sister with the little boy gets all the "WOWS! LOOK WHAT I GET IF I HAVE LITTLE BOY!"damn mooch!LOL I love my family! I really ,really do. I know I sound like an asshole.Truthful Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418118155979582823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-16936624425748757512010-05-12T12:01:08.959-04:002010-05-12T12:01:08.959-04:00It's so hard for me to get rid of Mia's cl...It's so hard for me to get rid of Mia's clothes that she has grown out of. <br />Some people totally deserve a punch in the throat!! <br />I will admit I love when I get my sisters hand me downs from my niece....but I don't expect them from her!!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203421653493336228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-39415238807944686952010-05-12T11:16:45.979-04:002010-05-12T11:16:45.979-04:00Peggy, That is an awesome idea!

Thanks for the perspective. Maybe I can part with the toys and ween myself off of the clothes. I will be a little more picky. The only problem is with my girls being 2 years apart, I have to hold onto most stuff for an extra couple years fro the next one. Of course the mounds of clothing that don't fit in the closets tell me that maybe there is too much! I still think that people assuming they get my girls stuff..warrants a throat punch!LOL Happy MOthering!Truthful Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418118155979582823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-2874855982518231732010-05-12T08:12:37.801-04:002010-05-12T08:12:37.801-04:00That is understandable.

It's saying goodbye to the early years and realizing that time will never come back. And the idea that it is understood that you would just "give" away what you have as if it was no big deal to watch your niece or nephew where clothes that you have memories of your children in. I say, they are yours and you do what you want with them. It is your right. They need to be more sensitive and not just assume things will be a certain way. <br />http://reflectionsofanavywife.blogspot.com/Lainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908436103293843647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-21113367052409643462010-05-12T07:47:25.605-04:002010-05-12T07:47:25.605-04:00I understand, but the stuff is a tether and preven...I understand, but the stuff is a tether and prevents you a little bit from enjoying "the now". You will be suprised at the freedom you will feel getting rid of the stuff you keep that is just cute. Keep 3 things that are meaningful from each year of your girls lives and get a really pretty box to put them in. At 18 they will have a beautiful box of history and you will have taught them that memories and feelings are in their heart...not their stuff.Peggynoreply@blogger.com
