[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearance clothing is great.  Send her the clothing sizes and tell her a size or two ahead.  So, if you have a boy, he's in a size 6, ask for 8 and 10's. I buy ahead all the time on clearance.[/quote]
Tried this. She says she wants them to wear it now. She’s afraid the bigger size won’t fit later, which is ironic because the smaller size doesn’t fit later either. [/quote]

Tell her bluntly you need the bigger sizes and it makes no sense to buy for now as they have enough clothing by the time it goes on clearance for the season.  The next size or two up i more helpful.[/quote]

Play up your need here, and emphasize her helpfulness. “Mom, things are so tight with two kids and a mortgage and just paying for life these days. Thank you so much for taking it upon yourself to help out with the clothing. It alleviates a huge pressure around costs for us. But like you’ve also noticed, come spring the clothes no longer fit. What would be even more helpful to our family is if the items were the next size up. They’d get a whole season of wear out of them and this would literally solve a huge problem for me and DH.”

Would she be more receptive to something like this? Otherwise, you’ll need to tell her you will have to speak with Darla and Larlo about keeping their growth in check, wink wink. [/quote]
