[quote=Anonymous]23:27 again here.  My concern with some of the replies that say, hey your son won't notice, or that he'll think grandma just got the size wrong....

is that Grandma is invested in MAKING SURE that OP's son KNOWS that he is overweight.

So there will NOT be a situation where the size goes unnoticed.  If OP's son opens the box and doesn't notice the size, Grandma is going to say something like, "Oh, did I get you a medium?  I see from your tummy that you can't get into a medium.  You should try and lose weight to get into that medium"

or something like that.  Grandma is NOT going to allow her "lesson" to her grandson not get through to him.

So OP has to lay down the law and not let this happen.  Either don't go, OP, or make sure Grandma is in her lane, and not giving her grandson any clothing.

It will be interesting to see how far OP's mom will push this. If she says to OP that fine, she won't give Grandson any present.  Or holds out hard enough that OP has to not bring the family to Christmas.  This incident is important, OP, not just for your son, but for YOU to see how far your mom is going to go to assert control over you in this arena.  You cannot allow it.[/quote]
