Mom Balks After Once Upon A Child Refuses Her Used Clothes—Until She Has Her Husband Try

TikToker and mom @lifewithdanimaj was miffed after the used kids' clothing and toy store rejected the clothes she tried to sell them—but then she sent her husband in with the exact same items, only to have the store accept them.

Anyone who has tried to resell clothes, purses, and other products at locations like Once Upon a Child, Plato's Closet and other similar consignment shops can all agree that the process is inconsistent at best.

Because these stores are not communicative about what they're looking for, what their quality standards are, and what they're willing to spend in a day, it's an immense guessing game for the families who are trying to declutter their homes and make a little cash along the way.


TikToker Dani (@lifewithdanimaj) recently shared that she took a bin of used clothes to Once Upon a Child, only for the entire bin to be rejected.

Dani wanted to try an experiment to see if the rejection had something to do with her, so she sent her husband in with the same bin of clothes, only for him to return with a completely empty bin and $48 in his pocket.

Upon returning to the car, Dani's husband playfully fluttered the money into the car and said:

"Got some cash monies!"

Upon posting the video, Dani included a caption:

"WOW!! Once Upon a Child, you have some explaining to do!!!"

Some TikTokers joked about calling Once Upon a Child out for only buying the clothes from Dani's husband.

As much as we might want to laugh at Dani's situation, with Once Upon a Child "choosing" her husband's delivery over her own, it seems like this is a common issue for families who are trying to resell clothes at Once Upon a Child, Plato's Closet and other similar consignment shops.

The core issue seems to be a lack of transparency around what these stores are looking for in a product, how much money they're willing to spend on buying products per day, and how much of a budget they have left for a day.

If these stores were more communicative about what they were looking for and gave proper guidelines to the public, then families could better prepare what they are trying to resell. Then, for those pieces that do not get picked up, a parent might try to resell it on another day, understanding that it might have been more of a daily budget issue than a product quality issue.

But in the meantime, the most we can really do is try to resell—and of course, laugh at the absurdity.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
