I'm struggling to get rid of my kids baby clothes...

I am really finding it hard to get rid of his old baby clothes! I had soooo much great stuff, and I just keep finding reasons to keep it. Its not sentimental 100%, its like 10% sentiment, 90% thinking its a shame I won't use it again!
I am having a girl this time around, but it was such nice stuff!!!

I have gotten six black garbage bags down from the attic this week and put most of it into 3 bags:
1. Unisex Stuff
2. Stuff for my friend who just had a boy
3. Stuff for charity/womans shelter

But its so bloody hard giving it away!!!

I was feeling the same. It took me some good strength to let it go, well, some of it. I kept a few pieces in each size. I have purged up to size 9 months. I did not go too far.

I actually gave it to a mommy friend here who had a little boy. It made me feel better that she would be using the clothes.

I ebayed a lot and then found someone who was having a baby to give it to so I felt like I knew it was going to someone who could really use it. That made me feel better than just tossing it to Good Will (which is by no means a bad thing).

I'm the exact opposite. As a ebayer seller, I'm finding it hard to hang on to stuff (especially NWT) for future children. I see NWT or expensive brands, I think ebay.

I completely understand! I have all of Jeremy's clothes, hand me downs from my sisters boys plus all the new stuff that we got for Dylan. I am done having children and I still can't bear to get rid of all that teeny tiny little clothes! Chat Icon
