So I'm in a weird predicament.

I am done having babies and I am selling my baby clothes that are in season and items we no longer need such as party supplies from parties I've thrown and home decor pieces.

I'm using this money to help our savings for a trip we are taking. We are not wealthy people just live modestly. Most of these items I've purchased or were given by my mom. My mom supports me selling and keeping the money. I'm selling on Facebook.

I have been asked by so many family members to gift to them or their causes. I donate hundreds of dollars worth baby stuff to homeless youth already. Also to friends with babies. My family is now asking me to give them things not because they are needing but because they want to donate to other organizations or people they know. To me it is incredibly rude.

I have a cousin I threw the most beautiful birthday for and am now selling off the decorations for her party for over $100 which is a lot of money for me. She asked me to gift the decorations to her for free. I have given her birthday gifts and spent a fortune on a party.

I have an Aunt who was asking for gifts she gave my first born child so she could give them to others. They were Onsies and baby shoes. I had already sold them. It was awkward.

To me if I give someone something and they use it for six years and three kids and they get to do whatever they want to that gift once it has been given. We are generous people but this is like coming to someone's garage sale and just asking for stuff that you don't even need? It's weird. I am feeling like I'm being judged for selling items I'm not using. I'm a stay at home mom we live on one income and this isn't like we are takers we legit earned everything on our own.

I would never ask someone for free things. I don't even know how to respond to these family members who I love and respect. I have had to tell them no and it makes it awkward for everyone. Any advice?
