Feeling like a goodwill centre...

Anyone else experiencing friends/fam with older kids wanting to donate all their old stuff like they want to get rid of it? Like I know they mean well and not demeaning but I kinda want the opportunity to make my own choices an enjoy the whole getting ready proces of picking out every detail. Every item comes with caution or advice and we just want to be able to make our own choices and mistakes is that weird of us?
