Advice on Loaning Baby Stuff

I would say this, "I just wanted to let you know that when you are done using the items I loaned you, I would like them back because we are planning on having more children."

Usually when I want someone to keep something I say, "It's all yours, you don't owe me any money and you may do what you want with it."

My sister has loaned me stuff and I have loaned her stuff. When I am done with it, I usually say, "Would you like your items back or do you want me to sell it at our next garage sale and I will give you the money?" I usually end up selling it for her since we both have smaller houses.

next time you give her something tell her that by the way a lot of these items have sentimental value and that you are planning on having another baby in about a year and that by that time she shold be outgrowing some of the items and that you would like to have them back and offer them back to her when you are done. i would be grateful to be in her shoes and wouldnt mind the loan i dont know how she is

What I did was tell my friend that when she was done with them to go ahead and pass them back to me so that they can be used again by another baby who needs those things. They are currently in use by her now but will be coming back to me in the next few months! My friend was very greatful and very happy to keep passing these on until they are not usable anymore.. this includes clothing and large items too!

I would find the words to let her know when she is done with them that please do not throw or give away the items you have given to her that you may try and have another baby down the road and would like to have them back as her baby is finished with them, or maybe let her know that you would like to keep these items in the family. something like that. She should not only be greatfull to you, but she should realize that her baby will probably have out grown just about everything by the time you need it back.

It seems totally fine to let her know to give those items back when she is finished. Maybe when you are talking to her and there is an opportunity to mention it because you are on the subject or whatever (if she is sensitive and you think just bringing it up out of the blue will cause friction.) I understand she is in a hard situation and may be extra sensitive... It will be fine to go ahead and mention it. You are very kind and compassionate!
