Borrowing I wouldn't like.
My sister has given me some things but never with the notion of me having to return them. If they want them back you should buy your own. ↑ |
Also... I really don't like the patterns... I'm having a boy and although there aren't flowers or anything the car seat and stroller look to "girly" for me... I want something more neutral... ↑ |
Are you kidding! My sister talked me into buying her baby boy clothes that had been handed down from both of her boys. I can't believe I was stupid enough to pay $40 for her used clothes. I was just so excited being a new mom that I thought I needed everything. I would buy my own stuff if I were you, but if this is your first then wait until after the baby shower, cause you will probably get a lot of stuff. I had a shower in college, church, by my mom, and sister-in-law. When you have baby #2, you get a few gifts, and baby #3 nothing. So save all your stuff, and when you are done having kids, sell all the stuff in a yard sell (don't give it away), cause you will still need new stuff for your kids. ↑ |
Oh, and by the way, my sister to this day still wants me to buy hand me downs from her, but I am not stupid anymore. She did let me borrow a swing, but it was a pain taking care of it and keeping that big thing around the house for two years. I sold it for her and now I need one for this baby. Anyway, Good luck. ↑ |
