[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give her a limit and tell her anything after that will be donated. Tell her she is taking away your ability to enjoy picking out clothes for your kid.[/quote] This. Set a limit and stick to it. If you tell her ahead of time, Mom, I am donating anything beyond 3 summer outfits and 3 winter outfits in any given size, she really cannot get upset when you follow through. Do it multiple times and eventually she will stop. Or spend less time with her if there are gifts every single time. Eventually your kid will have her own taste and I can tell you from experience it most likely won't match grandmas. We donate 90% of what both grandmas by my kids in terms of clothes, not because it is too much, but because my kids refuse to wear it. [/quote]
