^ i dont like hand me downs either, but sometimes we just gotta do with what get. Like when i moved from a small unit to a bigger house with the hubz, my mum gave me all her old rugs.. no big deal. It was just a time being thing… and we werent gonna spend money on getting rugs.
We have a dining table from my SIL.. but have gotten a new one for the new place…
And we all pass around baby things to one another.. like bassinets, carriers, walkers.. whatever that is in good condition. I dont think its a big deal.
I wouldnt take it from anyone or everyone.. and wont take EVERYTHING people are giving, but sometimes people are just being nice and helpful, and ive no issue with that.
In terms of chores and responsibility… ive been doing that for as long as i could remember. Im a lot more lazy at home now though.. just cus im overworked and think sometimes i have the right to just sit and do nothing..
Dont think u have some syndrome though
Yeah see you are being all logical and rational…but there is that little evil nugget in my brain thats trying to eat away the logical and rational part of me.
Tho when i ever have a baby, i wont mind taking my nephews’ hand me down furniture etc. As long as its in good condition.
Prissyness doesn’t extend to those n financial straits. If it helps, you should use the cover of labels and call your second-hand furniture quaint and vintage .
I personally adore stuff made in the 70s because the quality is almost always superior. Goods were durable then and had a longevity and integrity of maker-ship about them that furniture just doesn’t have now.
The day you can afford to shop freely in fifth avenue - I think such particulars may become you. But until then, it is probably more dignified to not have such nakhray
Fifth avenue in not-manhattan…full of value shops and cheap stores
