[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just let them.[/quote] This. You'll be happy as your kids grow older and want specific items that MIL is willing to buy.[/quote] I’m not OP, but my mother likes to buy (too many) clothes for my daughters, too. I’ve had some luck saying their closets and drawers are stuffed (and once in a particularly desperate moment sent a photo of the overflow clothes) and a little luck steering her away from categories of clothing (like sundresses, which we get plenty of handed down) but I haven’t had any luck steering her to things they want or need (e.g., bathing suits, athletic wear (softball pants, soccer shorts, etc), jackets and hoodies, etc.), which I guess aren’t as fun for her as browsing racks of discount clothing. I disagree with just letting them only because it becomes something else to manage/organize/dispose of. If you can limit it in some way, it would help. May you have better luck than I’ve had.[/quote]
