My thought was to hold onto the stuff, but then I figured we got it so easily, I don't want to store even more rubbish in our loft on the thought we may have another. Just get more if another arrives.

Can you please explain this to my gf so we can get a sliver of available storage back in our lives?
We have a whole kitchen cabinet full of old baby kit that I'd happily donate/bin but she's adamant that she's going to put it all on eBay.
Not to mention the piles of old baby clothes and toys in the corner of rooms which are allegedly destined fir eBay too!

I feel your pain. Toys in particular which he clearly is too old for and not stimulating enough for him, she doesn't want to sell yet in case he plays with them again. But that I'm sure is just her struggling to let go and realise he's not a 6 month old any more.

Perhaps one evening you make a deal. Tell your partner you'll cook dinner, while she ebays the stuff with the time it takes you to cook.
 
Tough times at the moment with our 20mo - the terrible 2’s are brewing... She raises the roof with her wailing and raises the stress levels of everyone in the household. The wife has the patience of a saint and even she has had to walk away a couple of times.

Interestingly it’s only in the presence of Mum, I don’t get the same behaviour.
