[quote=Anonymous]i left a few items at my in-laws during our last visit in the summer. one item was a dress that i wore as a child that my DD loves. MIL knew it was a special dress and I think she might even know it used to be mine. DD also left a beach towel that matches her swimsuit that matches her flip flops (she's 5). She called me while we were in the car to the airport (this is august) and i asked her to please mail the items. She said she'd keep them for us in a drawer in the room we use at her home. I asked, very nicely, if she could please mail them b/c DD needed the towel for swim class and the dress wouldn't fit for much longer. So, its december and no package yet. i have reminded her twice and she says, she will get around to it. Meanwhile, other random things have arrived - presents for DS's birthday, presents for DH's birthday - all packaged and mailed from their home (not shipped from the internet). Now, FIL is coming to visit and bringing toys for Xmas (MIL will come on a later flight and says she doesn't want to carry anything more than a small carry-on)- MIL called and asked what he should bring her and i gave a few suggestions and again asked for the dress and towel to be brought as well. She said, oh yeah.

I feel pretty confident its not coming and it just makes me so sad. It's just special to me that my DD wears the same dress I one wore and I'm SURE that's why MIL is keeping the items. She just doesn't want me to have this little special bond with my own child. Its also a dress that could be worn now with a long-sleeved shirt under it, which is also what's killing me... by the time we go to their place in the spring, DD will almost surely have grown out of it... I also feel a little possessive of the dress because it was sewn for me by my grandmother, so even if DD never wears it again, I do want to keep it.

Not sure what more I can say.[/quote]
