Sporting Couture While Your Kid Wears Hand-Me-Downs?

Rags to riches to rags?

Rags to riches to rags? Sex and the City's haute mama Sarah Jessica Parker grew up poor. And though the actress and her husband Matthew Broderick are well off, they don't want their son James Wilkie to take his lifestyle for granted.

When a Parade reporter recently commented that the 5-year-old wouldn't have to wear hand-me-downs, Parker said her son's wardrobe was quite the contrary. She said:

“Oh, no. He only wears hand-me-downs because I’ve got all these older nephews,” Parker insists. “That’s the God’s honest truth. Plus, my mother saved all my brothers’ clothes. I am not kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever bought him any clothes. Maybe a new winter coat. I do buy him shoes, because everybody’s feet are different.”

Would you be comfortable wearing designer duds while your lil darlings were in previously worn?

Mommy Dearest: Hand-Me-Downs

Mommy Dearest, A friend of mine is pregnant and asked me for my son's hand-me-downs.

Mommy Dearest,

A friend of mine is pregnant and asked me for my son's hand-me-downs. I only have one child and plan on having more.

I am willing to lend her some of his outfits, toys and blankets, but I want them returned in the same condition to use again in the future. What's the appropriate way to respond?
