See, they are 3 and 4 so they both want to wear Spiderman, Thomas the Train, & other special undies. They share a room. They share clothes. They share a dresser. They share underwear. Now, the REAL question is... at what age should they STOP sharing underwear? As far as hand-me-downs go; I wore them and as a mom of 3 kids, I thank GOD that my kids have friends a little bigger than they are because I greatly appreciate their hand-me-downs. Therefore, I do pass on children's clothing AND underwear to friends with smaller kids. And I know for a fact that their kids are wearing my daughters old panties. Is that so wrong? We all own washing machines. And for goodness sakes... children are not going around spreading diseases down under. Right?

Will definitely be on my to-make list. And I think a good argument to anyone that says 'it's the way it was when I grew up...' is that things change. If that argument holds as valid, can I say that because my mom drank alcohol while pregnant with me (poor woman didn't know back in those days, but I think I still turned out OK!) that I should do so too? Um, no. It doesn't work like that. We learn from so many of our parents past mistakes. Like handing undies down from child to child. Hold strong on this one! Very funny insights though into your homeland conversations. he, he. These look soooo good, I’m craving sweets recently (yikes!). Will definitely be on my to-make list.

I'm into being frugal/thrifty and green and all, but Nooo! to the hand-me-down undies! That's just icky (unsanitary), isn't it? If you do wash them in bleach, they won't last long after that, because the bleach eats at the elastic in the garment. (Plus, bleach isn't exactly enviro-friendly!) Just my two-cents. :) Loved this post, and that recipe is mouthwatering--just the thing to help chase thoughts of cooties away! ;) Eww….

But... I'll pass, thank you very much. Sorry I can't give you a logical reason to help but it isn't logical... it just is! I'm the same way about shoes - but, in my defense, shoes can't really be cleaned! I grew up with wonderful hand-me-downs (no undies) from a cousin who was just 2 years older and lived in 'the city'.

I have 3 boys, the younger 2 are 3 year old twins and this will gross you out but they do wear their big brother's old underwear (along with new underwear, too) and not only that, I have their underwear in one drawer! I have never and won't ever donate any type of undergarments to charity or pass them onto friends/relatives. I don't think I would share underwear among girls but for some reason, I feel it's okay with boys. Can you believe I'm a TOTAL clean/germ freak??

When I did some volunteering to send clothes to Hurricane Katrina victims, we had to discard ENTIRE BAGS of donating clothing if there were unsealed (thus, presumably used)underwear in there. It will waste your whole donation if you donate used undies. http://twitter.com/acsmo I have to say you definitely should NOT donate used undies to Goodwill or any other charity.

But I wouldn't hand it to anyone else. Same with socks and even tennis shoes as they get A LOT of wear and tear. When I was younger, our family started bringing our oldest, most tattered underwear on trips. Then after wearing them, we tossed them instead of packing back up the dirty underwear! Saves a little space going home for something you purchase! Then you don't have to think about passing them down. The turnovers look great!
