AITA
So my mum has put some clothes that belong to my little girl on Vinted. Yes they don’t fit, no she didn’t ask permission.
She says she did months ago (she didn’t) and last week she told me about a coat of hers she was putting up, and asked if I packaging she could use if it sold. Which would have been time to ask me. She didn’t.
I’m pissed, but apparently the fact that she told me months ago, means it’s okay and I’m over reacting?
Am I?

I’d be furious personally, it’s not up to anyone else to sell your girls stuff. I’m keeping certain things for a memory blanket, so for me I’d be really upset if they’d gone.
What’s happening with the money? Is she doing it to buy her new clothes?
Does she think she’s doing you a favour? It does seem a bit odd, you are not over reacting at all.
I mean, even if that was her plan surely she’d have checked which items with you before listing? That’s just bizarre.
@ani no idea. I got annoyed before she said. It’s a coat that I looked for ages for a track suit she admittedly wore once. Happy to sell tracksuit, but the coat I loved her in. And that would be lovely to keep as a keep sake or turn into a a blanket like you said.
I’ve told her let, because I was thinking of that being a gift when she’s older. (I craft and make stuff, so could use stuff over the years.)
But the fact that she kept saying she told me…. It’s just rubbing me the wrong way
So strange. She can’t have told you because quite clearly you’d have said no 🤷♀️
Nope. I'd be RAGING. I'd feel slightly violated in the sense that things that belong to me (and my child) had been taken and sold without my permission! She has no idea what you wanted to keep, and she's pocketing the money too! I'd want a full apology, or I'd not be speaking to her for a while
already took the clothes back, so they’re not in her possession. And not planning on giving in or letting her off
Taking someone else property and selling it is theft no? I’d be furious as well
No you're not, you have every right to be angry and it's not an overreaction at all! We have memories with their things and it's up to us what happens to it. It honestly doesn't matter if it was only worn once I mean the first outfit my baby was ever in was only worn once and a bunch of other stuff too but it still makes me so damn happy to have.
The fact she's focusing on "I asked you" rather than seeing that you're hurt and focusing on your needs is even worse Xx
no. She said she told me months ago, that’s it. She didn’t think had to ask me again or remind me and she doesn’t think she has to apologise
