What are we doing with all of the million teddies our babies/toddlers have been given as gifts? Is it disrespectful to donate some to charity shops once they are no longer played with?

Personally I don’t get attached to things like that so unless there is a sentimental reason for keeping it would be going to charity before it’s even been used so someone else could enjoy it.
If it’s something the toddler has played with and loved, I would be asking them to choose a couple to donate before each birthday / Christmas so they get into a habit early of gifting to others. This is dependent on age… if they are too young to understand I would just do the donating for them until they do understand helping other people.

I donate them lol

CarBoot sale for all the ones you don't need. From family gifts I usually see if they're more expensive I keep them as some of them might have been a thoughtful gift.

I’ve been with my partner for 6.5 years and been engaged for about 2years now due to my surprise pregnancy of my son, but now his sister is pregnant now and planned her baby shower the weekend both mine and my partner’s birthday when there is clearly other weekends to do it on. And truthfully she’s harming her pregnancy by continuing to vape and some other things that it’s restricting the baby’s growth. Also she’s an attention seeker, during my son’s 1st birthday party she asked my partner why I was upset after hearing his aunt and uncle’s excuse for not coming due to a MLB game, and proceeds to ask if it’s about her. And for a while my partner has had a tough time finding peace to just cut her off.

My MIL came over when I was past my due date as she spends some evenings here at home with my husband. I started having contractions while she was here and she and my husband just carried on eating their dinner. He dropped her home like 2 hours later as my contractions were progressing. Am I right for holding this grudge against her and him? or am I overreacting? I just felt that time should have been about me and how I was feeling. Saying that, we did have our daughter sleeping here at home so we obviously would have needed cover and someone to be here anyway if I needed to go to the hospital but my mum was planning to come over.
