[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is there a chance that the soon-to-be stepmother told her parents what to buy your daughter?

Also, do the step grandparents have any other grandchildren?  [/quote]

No other grandkids. I think this is a sore point for them. I think they expected to have a lot of grandchildren to spoil. A son died youngish and he didn't have kids. Their daughter and my ex-husband have been trying unsuccessfully for a baby for a while now. So maybe they are pouring all of that love into one little girl. I just need "Pap" to do it in a less creepy way.

Soon-to-be-step mom [i]has[/i] had some inappropriate ideas about gifts, but they were less lavish so much as just well...inappropriate. Her best friend gave a number of clothing items that I think were culturally appropriate for their ethnic group in their home state: baby doll cut tees or tiny tops with double spaghetti straps and jogging bottoms with words on the butt. DD felt really uncomfortable about the clothing. We donated them. [/quote]
More red flags with those clothes. Omg.[/quote]

Yeah, I know. One tee shirt said "Boy Crazy"! Who makes a size 10/12 shirt that says that?!? That at least, I really think is purely cultural. Step-mom-to-be and I actually had a calm conversation recently about my stance on certain clothing styles, nail polish colors, and other things that I think are better suited to older teens. She was a bit offended, but I played it up as this is my last baby, I want her to stay a little girl a while longer. I did not say "I think the way you want to dress her is sexualizing her." We managed to agree on piercing ears, but no danglies until 15 and certain nail polish colors.[/quote]
