In response to "Poll: you're having a baby, and you get hand-me-down clothes from a few people. A year later, one of those people asks for the clothes back to sell." by TFox

If they did not tell you upfront, totally unreasonable.

Is this stuff he outgrew or are they just demanding it back?

Responses:

Outgrown (full disclosure: not me, this is a coworker's situation.) -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 09:07
word. we get stuff and then pass it along (Pay It Forward) -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:06
this is the correct answer. -- nm - Callisto Oct 1, 09:05 14
- One of our friends saved her sons and is letting us use them. We are appreciative. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:07 13
  - I mean, if I gave that stuff to someone, there is no way I'd expect it back. - Callisto Oct 1, 09:10 12
    - Well, since it has a built in usage life for us, I can understand her wanting it back. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:15
    - Right. Not cool at all. And if they were friends, I'd be rather upset. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:11
    - i am totally agreed on that point. i guess my next question is, given that they are classless jackholes, what next? - TFox Oct 1, 09:11 9
      - I wouldn't offer to let them come over, I'd just say "if there's anything in particular you think wasn't there let me know and I can look for it". -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 09:24 1
        
        i like this one better - 'lia Oct 1, 09:30
      - I'd send a similar response, but ask them to describe the clothes rather than coming by (which is an imposition to you) -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:15
      - I think that's above and beyond what the situation calls for, but is probably good for diffusing a difficult situation. -- nm - Callisto Oct 1, 09:14
      - See, that's too nice. They don't get any back imo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:12 4
        
        I'm just not sure it's worth the fight. If it was a bigger item like a crib or jumper, I wouldn't hesitate to return it. - TFox Oct 1, 09:14
        
        Word. They shouldn't have given the clothes away in the first place. If it was a week fine, but it's been a year. -- nm - Krusty Oct 1, 09:13
        
        Has anyone ever accused TFox of that before? -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:13 1
        
        No. In fact, it's one of the signs of the apocolypse, IIRC. -- nm - mara Oct 1, 09:14
