A Pregnant Woman Sparked Debate After She Refused To Accept Hand-Me-Downs

A mother does so much for her child, they carry them for nine good months. She wants to render her child with all the newest things in the world because the charm of new things would be different. Similarly, this mother too wanted to give her child the newest and greatest things. All her cousins and siblings are quite elder to her. In fact, the last kid that was born in her family was 13 years ago. She didn’t want her family to pass on their kid’s clothes to her newborn.

Since all her nieces and nephews were born years ago, all their belongings would be too old to use. And she had her own reasons, of why she had refused to take any used clothes. When she was a teenager, her mother made baby blankets and 5 years later the blankets were ruined and had molds and bugs over them. This incident convinced her that no- matter how nicely, clothes are stored there are huge chances of it being spoiled. Moreover, she even informed her family members that they should not gift her things on her baby shower, which they value a lot because she would eventually throw it.

And it’s not like she didn’t accept the used things at all. Her husband’s family gave them a cradle and she happily accepted it. But as far as the clothes were concerned, she indeed has been finicky about them. She felt that her request could be vindicated, and she didn’t do anything wrong by asking her family and friends, not to pass on used clothes to her.

She posted her thoughts on a social media platform. A lot of people disagreed with her school of thought. They felt that passed on things have emotions connected to them and she should have treated them as a token of love. An individual commented saying, that their mum has stored clothes for their kids since they were a kid and the clothes had remained perfectly fine over the years. Her mum wouldn’t have stored the blankets rightly and ergo, it had molds over it.

On the other side, some people totally resonated with her and shared the same opinion. Another one commented saying, that she understood her situation since she has been there too. She further wrote that; she had conceived after years of infertility and after going through so much she wanted everything to be perfect for her child. It took her a lot of time to convince her family member. Subsequently, they respected her feelings and did as per her demand.

Aforementioned a mother knows what’s best for her child and if she feels that passed-on clothes won’t be the right thing for her child then the rest of the family should make peace with her decision.
