When we were young, it was common to wear old clothes given to us. After all, at that time, the living standard was not high, and the materials were not abundant, so it was a little to save a little.
I was also a thrifty person, and my sister would often give my daughter the clothes that her children used to wear. Today's children are cleaner and change their clothes diligently, so even if they are old clothes, they are actually very new.
So, sometimes I pick out old clothes that look good for my daughter to wear, after all, I can also save a lot of money. Of course, if my daughter is not willing to wear it, I will certainly not ask for it, after all, I still have to respect the child's wishes.
Some old clothes can be collected, but some things, no matter how good the relationship, still have to be rejected for the child. For example, the following 3 examples.
One: close-fitting clothes
One of my mommy colleagues told her something that bothered her.
The sister-in-law's family has better economic conditions than her family, and the clothes, shoes and socks bought for the children are expensive. The mother-in-law is also a kind intention, and wants to save a little life, so she takes back the old clothes of the sister-in-law's children every time to wear them for her baby.
The mother-in-law still said that these clothes cost a lot of money, and it was a pity to throw them away, and they had to be worn by their own children.
Some coats or something, Bao Mom can accept, but intimate clothing, she really does not want to let the child wear. After all, the clothes that are close to the body have sweat stains or something, and the child's skin is delicate, even if it is washed cleanly, it is worried that it will be uncomfortable to wear.
Moreover, every time her mother-in-law came back with a big bag and a small bag of clothes, she felt embarrassed. Even if the family is not so good, but this one child in the family, even if it is cheaper, it will not have to wear others to wear ah.
But she couldn't help her family, and every time the sister-in-law was really kind, the clothes were carefully selected to take over. However, for the close-fitting clothes, she is really resistant from the bottom of her heart.
In fact, Bao Ma's idea is also correct. Children's close-fitting clothes will come into direct contact with the skin. The old clothes worn by others will inevitably have some residue, and if the child is allergic to these, it will not be worth the loss.
Two: old shoes
Although I would let my daughter wear other people's old clothes, I would politely refuse old shoes.
A friend of mine who is a doctor said that it is best for children not to wear other people's old shoes, even if they look new, which will affect the development of children's feet.
This is because as the child grows, the feet are constantly developing. And each child's foot shape development and power point are different. The shoes worn by others have adapted to the shape of his feet, forming his focus point.
If the child wears other people's old shoes, it is inevitable that they will not adapt and will be uncomfortable. If your child wears it for a long time, it may also affect the development of the feet.
Therefore, no matter how expensive other people's shoes are, don't wear them for children, preferring to wear some affordable new shoes that are conducive to the development of children's feet.
Three: bottles, water bottles
Many mothers buy bottles and water bottles for their children will be more entangled. Too cheap, worried about harmful health, too expensive, and painful. After all, children don't use bottles for long, and it's not cost-effective to buy too expensive.
As a result, many mothers will accept high-end quality bottles or water bottles that have been used by others. But in fact, what goes into the child's mouth, we are still more cautious.
After all, the mouth is an organ that can directly "eat" bacteria. Children are also prone to illness, he used the water bottle bottle, may have bacteria residue, if their own children use it is not good.
Therefore, for children to use old things, some clothes sent by others can be collected, but some items, or try not to receive, the relationship can not be wanted no matter how good.
In fact, not only the older generation, even I, looking at something quite new, I feel strange and pity to throw it away. Always thinking about seeing who needs it, you can give it to others and reuse it, so that it is not wasted.
However, what should be received can be received, and what should be rejected must be resolutely rejected. After all, the child has no ability to distinguish, we wear what we wear for him, and he will use whatever he wants.
But if something really goes wrong, we can't regret it.
Also, after getting someone else's old clothes, don't immediately put them on your child. Instead, it should be washed again and put under the sun to kill and sterilize, so that the child can wear it with confidence.
And if you refuse the kindness of others, don't be too direct, so as not to offend people. It can be said that these clothes are really good, but I bought a lot of them for my children, and he can't wear them himself, so I just put them there when I take them back, which is even more wasteful. It is better to see who needs it and leave it to those who need it more.
In this way, it is both a euphemistic refusal and a sentimentality.
Would you give your child someone else's old clothes?
