Re: s/o MC's 'cheating' post... a poll!
1. Did you/do you receive a lot of hand-me-downs? Definitely! I'm the oldest, but I got things from cousins, aunts, etc. And as an adult I've received a ton of them as well! When I first moved out, I think everything in my house was a HMD! And my Aunt is constantly giving me clothes/shoes/household stuff that is barely used but she replaced or just doesn't need anymore [She likes to shop!]

2. Did/do you love 'em or hate 'em? Love 'em!
3. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've received? Hmmm... my mom has tried to pawn off some 1/4 filled lotions and other random stuff on me before, but otherwise I get pretty decent HMDs.
4. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've seen someone else receive? My poor little brother had to ride my Care Bears bike! At least my parents took the basket off the front first though, lol!!
1. Did you/do you receive a lot of hand-me-downs? (If you're the oldest, maybe you got HMDs from a cousin? aunt? neighbor?) yep!! i'm the "baby" so i got all of my sister's clothes growing up
2. Did/do you love 'em or hate 'em? can't really remember. it cracks me up to look at pics and see my sister in an outfit one year, then me in the same outfit the following year
3. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've received? ponchos.... the 70s/80s style crocheted poncho
4. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've seen someone else receive? n/a
1. Did you/do you receive a lot of hand-me-downs? (If you're the oldest, maybe you got HMDs from a cousin? aunt? neighbor?) I am the oldest. I never got them. Especially when I was young I was the first grandbaby, so my mom didn't have nieces to get them from. Plus my mom LOVED to shop for clothes for me so I had tons (what my dad always says. lol).
2. Did/do you love 'em or hate 'em? I love them most of the time. I have got alot of toys and some clothes from my sisters kids. It has saved me a ton of money, especially on bigger toys.
3. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've received? Can't think of any.
4. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've seen someone else receive? Can't think of any.

I am the oldest and they 2 older cousins I have on my moms side werent really around so I got all new stuff. But when I got to be like 11/12 me and a couple of the girls in the neighborhood would get together clothes we didnt wear or didnt fit and would have like a swap meet with them. It was alot of fun. And now that I have moved out and living with my BF my mom and aunts have given us alot of household stuff, some of it being from my busia (grandma) that passed away 11 years ago. So I really enjoy that.
2. Did/do you love 'em or hate 'em?
I loved it.

Hmm cant really think of any.
4. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've seen someone else receive?
My aunt and uncle always bought the nieces and nephews their first "big kid" bike so before my brother got his he had to use the barbie bike that I had. That was pretty funny. Im sure there are some other ones but I cant really think of any right now.
I had to reply because I've got kind of a funny one...

2. Did/do you love 'em or hate 'em? I was not too happy with the one I got
3. What's the worst/funniest HMD you've received? My older sister decided for her birthday, she wanted a pet bunny. She had it about....a month before she decided she didn't want it anymore. So I got the hand me down bunny.
