: first pair of walking shoes-second that!!

[Guest guest]

I wish I could convince my MIL to stop giving us used shoes...although Evy wears

shoes very little, I am kind of picky that he wears only HIS shoes but then

she's like asking, did those shoes fit??? (why isn't he wearing them?) But then

again, God love her, my MIL gives me so much pure crap it isn't funny the amount

of stuff she gives me that she finds at yard sales and stuff - and I'm not

against yard sales but what I mean is she hands me bags full of stuff that is so

worn out, dingy, stained up, ripped up, busted zippers, missing buttons.....!!!

She actually goes to sales and takes all the left over stuff the person didn't

manage to sell and I'm thinking, " Um, there's a reason no body bought this! "

One thing I put in the washer and it litterally fell to pieces! LOL! She says,

" Oh they're just kids who cares what they wear! " and I'm gasping inside myself

cuz I try to keep my kids clean and neat when they aren't just flat out playing

in the mud, kwim? It's probably 2nd hand shorts they have on but the aren't

stained and ratted out. Anyway, totally off topic, sorry.

I've been told this before about second hands shoes too, ee.

Bums me out because we saved all of Lily's older sister's shoes

and have the same style in a whole range of sizes (which would

have helped with the different size foot issue since Lily is

unilateral lcf). But I guess I'll have to resist the temptation

to use them when Lily gets to that point (a while from now;

she turns 6 months today).
