Grrrr... who's right here?

I hate that on loan stuff. I never asked for anything back from my sister because she pulled that crap on me. Her oldest daughter is 3 years older than my daughter- and she gave me a lot of stuff- THEN- 8 years later- she wants stuff back because she decides she finally wants more kids? It was completely insane.

BUT, this is not as if they said, "here have everything, its yours." EVERYONE said, "We want to give you what you need, but when you're done with it, we'd like it back because we'd like to use it for our next baby" EVERYONE was up front and told us that from the start -- both my brother and neighbor want at least one more baby as soon as possible. Both my neighbor and brother have babies that are 15 months old and both want to start trying for another very soon... I know for a fact my brother and his wife are already trying for a 3rd baby.

So this was not as if we've thought all along that it was ours to keep; we knew they were lending things to us from the first moment they excitedly offered things to us.

I don't see anything wrong with the loans, when I was pregnant we had tried for 9 years to have kids and saved a lot of money. My friend in los angeles wanted to send me a bassinet that was passed among friends of hers, she shipped it to me, I signed my daughters name on the back along with other babies and sent it back when I was done, it was pretty neat.

This earth has enough stuff in landfills we need to conserve the resources we have.
