The mum was left baffled after her in-law began dictating what her kids were wearing and demanding they wore everything she buys for them
Having parents and in-laws buy clothing for your children can be a huge help to cut down costs as kids constantly outgrow their outfits. However, one mum said her controlling mother-in-law has overstepped boundaries by demanding she dresses her children in specific clothing on certain days.
"MIL claims I've not put my kids in the clothes she bought. I told her that I did, but that they were a bit big for them on Xmas day. So she said that she thinks I should put my daughter in the clothes on her birthday. "She sends me a pic of the dress, then takes pics of all the clothes she buys them and then double checks if they've been worn. I find that a bit strange and controlling. Especially because they always wear the clothes, but a dress isn't worn as often, so MIL just missed it.
Many users rushed to the comments to side with the anonymous mum as they agreed her mother-in-law was being 'controlling' and that a 'firm boundary' had to be established. One person remarked: "This is extremely controlling of her. One user predicted her in-law would eventually 'give up' as they advised: "She’s over-invested in this and needs to understand that she can’t dictate what they wear. Repeating that you already have an outfit for whatever occasion she mentions should reduce her pushing for the children to wear her clothes. She’ll give up eventually."
