Name Brand Kids...

It's a shame if she's not even passing them on, she could probably get some of her money back selling them on Ebay if they are brand name baby clothes. I don't have kids yet but I know I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on baby clothes because they do grow out of them so fast.

Since I don't have kids I'll go with my sister's experience's. They both bought NOT top of the line when they were babies. They both waited until they were old enough to appreciate what she was spending on their clothes.I think something like 10-12 yrs old. Then at least the clothes would last longer than a month, & they could pass them down to their siblings to wear. I think it's a huge waste of money to do this when they are babies. They grow so fast....Lori

My children are grown now but I never bought them name brand clothes unless it was after they got older and not growing as fast and even then they were not bought unless they were on the sale rack. When they were young they lived on hand me downs and also garage sale clothes. We found so many clothes that were just like new at garage sales.

The BANK must be good in that house, but again it may be some one else's money and thats easy to spend until one day you have to pay it all back.

Me Im the other way I will not buy any brand name cloths I feel they are all over rated.and over priced.
I can do better at a much over price for fit and quality and price.

My kids wear brand name HANDME DOWNS. I do buy top of the line (or as best as I can afford) sneakers. I get them a new Coat every winter, but generally after wearing it everyday for months it is in no shape to be passed down. Everything else comes from thrift stores, although I'm picky about what shape it is in. I go to upscale neighborhoods and hit their yard sales. And birthday and Christmas gifts are of course new. I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that Santa was broke...I shop this way for the WHOLE household though. My clothes are mostly hand me downs...So are my mates...I'm lucky that I'm small, I can were my ten year olds out grown shoes, and she has good taste.:)

I will go as cheap as possible lol. I love garage sales and clearance racks. I dont understand buying brand name for kids. I can see as they get a bit older buying them some name brand but if they want more they can get a job or something.

When my son was younger he had a lot more name brand clothing than he does now. I would catch awesome sales at Macy's so the kid was usually decked out in Tommy Hilfiger. Plus, my ex-MIL is a huge name brand discount shopper. Right now he doesn't give a darn what he wears and is happy with wal-mart and target clothes. I have no problems buying him name brand clothes, if they don't fall apart. The last pair of name brand jeans I bought for him were ruined in less than a month!

I don't get it either. I remember when I was growing up my cousins that were like 2 and 3 had alligator skin cowboy boots that were several hundred dollars and $40 pairs of jeans.

My kids have some brand name clothing, but I bought it at a yard sale or at a thrift store used. Or it was handed down. I remember once getting a ton of Old Navy clothes at a yard sale that were practically brand new because they mother bought it all and her son got too big before he wore it more than once or twice. I got it for a steal too.

In my opinion since kids grow so fast is kind of wasteful to buy them expensive clothes. My younger son wore the clothes of his older brother. On the other hand if she can afford it why not? As long as she teaches them values and they don't become materialistic adults with no feelings.

I think its crazy. I don't even buy myself name brand clothes unless its a clearance item and marked way down. I buy a lot of my clothes at yard sales. Children that age don't care about name brand clothes. They just want to be warm, comfortable, and loved.
