[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her you feel the clothing is inappropriate. "MIL, this top/skirt didn't fit DD properly. Her belly/rear end is uncovered." I can't believe how short and provocative some of the little girl clothing is compared to the shorts and t-shirts I've bought my son. My daughter ends up wearing a lot of her big brother's clothing.

My MIL loves to buy our kids cutesy outfits that say "Handsome", "Mommy's Best Friend", "Grandma is my favorite"... We've asked her nicely not to buy clothing with these slogans. We'd rather she not buy the kids clothing at all because she never asks us for sizes and most of the clothes don't even fit, and can't be returned because she buys on clearance and takes the tags off. She ignores us and keeps doing it. Now everything she buys goes into our Goodwill pile, and if she asks, we're truthful and say it wasn't our style or it didn't fit. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with those slogans.  You sound nasty and controlling.  Just send her the new sizes every so often and tell her a size up from what you need.[/quote]

Nothing is wrong with them in YOUR mind.  Your kid isn’t the one wearing them.  Some people don’t like slogans, some don’t like characters, some don’t like certain fabrics.  And that is okay.  It isn’t up to you to decide.  And when you hurl out insults because someone thinks differently than you think, it says far more about you than it does about the person to whom you are responding![/quote]

What you have just set up here PP is exactly what the OP needs to hear. Not just other posters were posting. [/quote]
