Her Sister-In-Law Said The Baby Clothes She Gave Her Were Tacky, Cheap, And Would Make Her Daughter Look Like An Orphan
Have you ever gotten a gift for someone expecting a baby, and they made you feel like it wasn’t good enough?
One woman recently gave her pregnant sister-in-law a bunch of handed-down baby clothes, and her sister-in-law told her they were cheap and tacky.
She’s 27-years-old and has a 29-year-old husband. Her sister-in-law, Britney, is 26 and expecting a baby girl in December.
Britney made a Facebook post asking friends and family to send over some gift cards and money for baby clothes, so she offered her some of the baby clothes she had from when her two-year-old son was a baby.
“Me and my husband have one son who was a summer baby,” she explained.
“When he was born, my extended family bought so many sweaters and other warm clothes in newborn and little baby sizes for him that he never got to wear, and [they’ve] been sitting in storage. They are mostly gender neutral, in colors like gray, yellow, and beige.”
The other day, she brought the clothes over to Britney’s house to go through them with her. Everything started out fine, as they talked about babies and shared a few laughs. Then, she noticed that whenever Britney picked up a piece of clothing, she’d check the label and Google the brand.
“I didn’t think much of it until she started making comments about the clothes being cheap,” she recalled.
“She isn’t necessarily wrong. My family [isn’t] the type who are into expensive brands. I believe most of the clothes were from H&M and Walmart.”

She tried changing the subject, but then later, Britney said some of the clothes looked tacky and that they’d make her daughter look like an orphan. She was appalled by Britney’s comments and her poor attitude.
“I told Britney if she doesn’t like them, she doesn’t have to take them, but she is being very stuck-up,” she said.
“She got defensive and said that she’s not wrong for wanting her daughter to have nice clothes that will last. We sat in awkward silence for a few minutes, and I told Britney I’d leave her to it, and I went home.”
Later, Britney told her mother-in-law what happened, and now she is angry with her for “upsetting her pregnant daughter.”
Meanwhile, her husband thinks she was right to say those things to Britney since she is acting entitled.
Should she apologize to Britney, or is Britney the one that should be apologizing?
