Plus it is always nice to have gear at grandparents house. Win win! Your DH is smart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/selling-something-a-family-member-gifted-to-you#post-697656 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:47:22 +0000 Ra 697656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Could you say you were gifted the second swing (and just not mention you gifted yourself)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/selling-something-a-family-member-gifted-to-you#post-697653 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:44:22 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 697653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: that's what I'm thinking.<br /> My in laws watch LO a lot and they would love if they have gear at their place. I could be like, "I gave this one to them so all the grand-kids could use it...and I got one on sale, or something for our place!" I don't want it to be like I've researched a new swing for months or anything (I totally have). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/selling-something-a-family-member-gifted-to-you#post-697647 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:40:44 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 697647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's a great idea! I would get the one that you really want for #2 ,and let your parents keep the one she gave you. If she ever asks about it, you could tell her something about your little one liking the one you have better, but still wanting to use the one she so generously gave you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/selling-something-a-family-member-gifted-to-you#post-697640 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:34:42 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 697640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is so, so sweet &amp; generous. She buys LO gifts every single week. She will get outfits, or toys or just bring over a box of wipes! So sweet.</p> <p>Anyways, she bought us my Bpump for nearly $400 and she bought our $175 swing when I was pregnant.<br /> LO wasn't into the swing and I have noticed many things about it that I don't love.<br /> 1- doesn't reline enough for a newborn<br /> 2- doesn't go fast enough for an older baby<br /> things I love are<br /> 1- how it looks<br /> 2- batteries and/or plug=in<br /> 3- easy to dismantle and store</p> <p>So, my question is, should i sell it so we can get the swing we actually want for #2?<br /> Or should I keep it and buy another swing anyways, but keep this one so she doesn't feel bad?<br /> The thing is this: she will see us suing new swing with #2 anyways! Ah...<br /> I don't want her to feel bad.<br /> And for anyone about to suggest communication-don't! She is too sweet and I can't be 100% honest with her. She is really sensitive.</p> <p>My husband suggested giving the swing to my IL's so baby can use it there and then get my swing for home. Would this seem rude? She is married and will TTC soon enough, so her kids could use it too? </p>
