i know this is petty but im so angry.
i cant believe mine and my oh friends. they have had there baby 2 months ago and because they were complaining about how much baby things cost we said that they could use our baby stuff(ie baby clothes weanning bolws , pretty much everything that we are no longer using for our 8 m/o son). when we gave them the baby things we said to them more then once that anything they don want or finish using to give it back to us cos at my daughters school they are collecting baby things ect to go to homeless familys and safe houses for familys trying to get away from domestic violance. anyway yesterday they let slip that they sold all the stuff we gave them on ebay. my oh asked them why coz we had told them to give it back so we could give it to familys who really need those baby stuff, and there answer was " well we really need the money"...............WTF they earn over 28k a year and we earn just over 16k a year and ther is four of us in our family and only 3 in theres. if we had wanted it sold on ebay we would have done it ourselfs but we wanted the baby stuff to go to familys who really needed it . i just cant believe how selfish the are. im sorry to rant but i needed to get this off my chest. thats the last time we'll help them next time we'll give our stuff straight to charity. x.

I think its damn selfish REGARDLESS of whether they need the money or not. I made a point of mentioning this to my friend who eventually gave me the tiny amount of things she had left so i could take it to the charity.
Its just plain rude. There's babybrain in forgetting, but then theres just plain rude.
Hmph. Will say no more. xxx
Have you considered putting an ad in your local paper asking for donations for them and saying why? - ie that they are in such poverty in their comfy house etc that they had to sell items loaned to them which were destined for charity? They need to be named and shamed if common decency isn't present!
I'd tell them you need it back for next baby/friends baby or something like that and demand all the money they made at the very least.
( p.s. i am gutted that this has also happened to some of you.)
