I dont wanna give all my baby items to her just because she decided to get pregnant at 17!
My 17 year old SIL is 3 months prego. She just told her parents. Well today MIL and me went to lunch together, and she was saying I should give my stuff that my son has out grown to SIL. I told her I didnt want to and she dont understand saying that she can always give it back after she is done with it. She also mentioned switching my son by then to a toddler bed so SIL can have my crib. WTF! I dont know if I am being selfish or what but I really dont want to giver her all my stuff. I am afraid it might get all stained up and unusable for my next baby. I also have some stuff at MIL's house from when she used to watch my son occasionally (like a jumperoo, highchair, swing, some toys, a pack N play etc) and I am debating on picking that stuff up because MIL is saying that stuff is going to be used for the new baby. I dont want these items all stained up and ruined plus I already told my brother that he couldnt have them for his baby on the way so I dont feel that would be fair either. What do you ladies think?
No comment on anything else tho :/
Quoting justinnaimee:
I think its your stuff your choice.
MIL is kinda pissed at me I think. She was telling me how SIL dont have anything and she dont have a job so she cant afford a lot so it will be MIL and FIL supporting and buying everything.
Your things, your choice.... not to mention, they were already promised to your brother!
I would be the same way...
Just exaplin to your MIL you already promised them to someone else.
Lessens the family drama if you do it that way. But I would leave the other stuff at your MIL's. That's just me though. The girl is 17, she is going to need help I am sure! Yes, she made a mistake and shouldn't expect anyone else to give to her, but she isn't asking, MIL is.
