This girl I went to elementary school with posted on her FB that she is looking to sell her sons clothing 0-4 years. She's also due in May but shes having a girl and I'm having a boy so I suggested if she would be interested in trading clothes instead. I have 14 totes of clothes for Annabelle and she thought it was an awesome idea. She was in the process of going through all her stuff so I told her to count and keep track of what she has (20 onesies, 10 pairs of pants, 15 shirts etc) and I would match her. She lives in NJ (3 hours away) so I told her I will just drive up to my dads and we can do the trade there to make things easier.
The next day she messages me and tells me how she was up until 2am going through all her clothes and there is so much. I asked her if shes keeping track of everything and she says "wellllll, I was hoping you could come over and we can go through the clothes together and pick out what we want" Here I'm thinking ot myself, is she crazy? I dont have time to be going through a ton of clothes. Its infant clothes, how exciting could they be! I told her there is no way I can bring 14 totes of clothes with me to NJ so she can go through them and pick out what she wants.
Since I said no her next bright idea was to come to my house. She said she can bring her husbands work truck and bring everything with her. I said fine, it doesn't really matter to me, one less thing for me to do. Later on that evening I get another message from her and she sent me about 40 screen shots from my FB page of Annabelle and said these are the outfits she has picked out for herself. I was just dumbfounded. Do you seriously want me to go through all my totes and find the exactly outfits you are interested in?
I finally just told her never mind and blamed Stephen. I said after talking to him we decided since were not done having kids that we want to keep all our clothes. This was supposed to make things easier but she just made this whole thing 10x complicated than it needed to be. I get she would like to see what she is getting but I dont know any more of what I would be getting than what she would be getting from me. What a headache!
