[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While your SIL may think this is funny, it really is not. Calling a boy little is the same as calling a girl fat -- a dig. She probably thinks it is OK to insult your DS -- some people just think that is funny, or acceptable. I would ask her to stop sending clothes -- they do not fit and you can't store them, but thanks anyway!! If she persists, I would just toss them. I never enjoyed hand me downs much with my kids -- kids clothes are pretty cheap these days and I just never felt like doing it after I got the first bundle from a friend. The nice ones are very easy to resell anyway.[/quote]

+ 1  And stop the "Little Larlo" comments NOW.  And a PP was correct - SIL is putting the boys is competition with the only thing she has now - wait until her son starts playing sports and getting graded in school - the comments will only get worse.  [/quote]

x 1,000 to the above.

OP, if you don't put a stop to it now, it will never end.

Your SIL is being rude and insensitive. You don't talk about people's physical appearance and you don't talk about it especially when a person may be sensitive about the topic.

Also, ITA with the competition angle. You don't want that in either your kid's life or yours.[/quote]
