Can I be ungrateful for a minute?

29+4 with boy/girl twins. I had my baby shower about a month ago (highly recommend doing it that early, fellow moms of multiples) and we were very fortunate in that probably 75% of the registry was purchased.

We have since become a dumping ground for everyone’s friend’s cousin’s neighbor’s baby stuff. Garbage bags of baby clothes, some stained or missing snaps/buttons. Baby gear that’s missing pieces or filthy. For example, someone gave us the toy bar to a tummy time mat but no mat itself, making it useless because it has nothing to attach to.

The philosophy is “well you’re having two so you need more stuff!!!” I truly appreciate the generosity but the amount of time I spend sorting through the bags, doing baby clothing math to figure out if this stuff is even going to fit at the right time, driving to Goodwill, or putting things into storage is mind-numbing. I’m due around Christmas and I have clothes going up to size 3T in the house already. I don’t have the energy for this.

Rant over/sorry for being a brat.
