I told a co-worker my wife is 5 months pregnant and days later he comes and gives me three old diapers and a used plastic sheet. I feel insulted. Am i looking too deep into it? Why would you give someone who is 4 months away from having their baby old diapers and used palstic sheet?
Maybe they don't have much money, but wanted to give you something to help. Personally, I would NOT be offended. I would take it as a kind gesture. ps. Those three diapers might come in handy when you realize at mid-night that you have run out of pampers..then suddenly you remember those old diapers you have stashed away that a co-worker gave you:)
Your co-worker probably just wants to help and doesn't mean any harm. Sometimes people just don't think when they are giving you something. If your co-worker has never had a baby, they just don't know any better. Also, what do you mean old diapers? Like years old or leftovers? I would take a friends leftover diapers anyday. Even if they are not the brand I use.
If your son just started wetting the bed at 14 and had never had a problem with it in the past. Take him to another doctor for a 2nd opinion. When someone starts wetting the bed out of the blue. That usually indicates some sort of medical problem. As for using diaper on him. At 14. That should be his choice to wear them. You should ask him if he would be willing to wear Goodnites or Underjams ( these are bed wetter pants for older kids). At the very least there should be a plastic sheet on his bed.
I don't see anything wrong with it. Cloth diapers are expensive, and he may have given you a sample pack. And I don't know what you mean by plastic sheet... changing pad maybe? IF they were dirty diapers obviously I would be offended, but I would appreciate a gift of used cloth diapers. They are worth about 50% of the cost new. Sounds like he was offering you a gift. Also nothing wrong with old disposable diapers. They don't have an expiration date. That is what is great about plastic. Why do you feel insulted? There are many reasons why someone would give that as a gift. They may be environmentalist, and can't put plastic in the trash, so it must be saved as a gift for someone else having a baby. Or they might be kinda broke, or maybe the guys wife said hey, give him this!
Kick their *** for being such a prick.
