If it was her stairgate in that skip it was brand new and unused as they couldn't fit it on the stairs. Why would anyone throw an unused stairgate in the skip, any charity shop would accept it, the local foodbank would probably know a family in need of one and could pass it on anonymously for her.That has made me absolutely fuming. That is so incredibly wasteful. Why couldn’t she even charity shop it? Or make contact with a local nursery to see if they privately want her extras/grown out of items???
Also I don’t mean this hurtfully - I know it’s not a nice topic - but this is exactly why I believe she is one and done. She gets rid of everything of his each time he out grows it. If she had any intention of more she would be keeping it up in the loft for the next child. My second born has barely had anything new!
I reckon most of the stuff in that skip came from her house.
We kept ours for years, dug it out and used it when younger nieces came to visit then again years later when we got our rescue pup at 6 months who wasn't house trained. Slate and oak floors are a lot more forgiving than cream carpets so she stayed on the ground floor till we had her trained.
