I feel like this is a list hoping someone is giving these things away and taking a shot. There are people like me who are not wealthy but did spend money on what we thought was necessary. And when I was pregnant with my son, I did give away my older 2 daughters things. Then when my son outgrew his items I gave those away too. I could have sold them. I chose not to. And I had no problem with the fact that people wanted to see it first. Being poor doesnt mean you dont get to hope someone is giving away things you're hoping for. Sometimes having those things can carry someone through and make them feel like it's all good. As far as the diapers, again since they are expensive, nothing wrong with hoping. I got so many diapers at my baby shower plus sales etc. I gave them away. Half open boxes when sizes changed. Full boxes. And I had some expensive stuff. What I did do for each child was set aside items that would be sweet to pass.down to their kids. But I dont really see this as cringe more than hopeful? Why can't she ask for the things shes seen as "the best"? When you adopt a family for the holidays you get their wish list. If they ask for Barbie do you get them the dollar tree one and say that they should be grateful? No. Taking a shot is not cringe. Someone may be getting rid of those brands. Besides, middle class hand me over to each other all the time. If a friend asked me if I had the fisher price aquarium set and I did.... and they asked if they could have it.... I would either be happy to know someone wants it OR I would say no. I see this the same way. I guess Im just not getting why this is cringe? There are people like me who just want to know it is going to someone who can use it and not being flipped. Am I missing something?
