What will you do if your MIL keep buying stuffs that are impractical for your children? I requested my husband to tell her save the money and bring my children out for great food when we meet instead of buying stuffs. However, my husband scold me for being ungrateful and not being appreciative. My reason is the clothes my mil bought is often in very thick material (more for winter wear) or scary print which my girl don't even dare to go near not to mention put it on. I will normally keep it until they outgrown and bless it out. My husband scold me for wasting money by not letting the kids wear it and keep buying new clothes. There was once I just casually brought up the topic that the clothes are too thick to wear now as the weather is too hot when my mil ask. He get upsets and start to find trouble with me that day. He himself know the truth but keep pushing the blame to me. What will you guy do if you are me?

Well if its me , i will tell directly and of course i will talk to both hubby and MIL. They will understand , as i also dont wish them to buy and waste it as baby grow really fast . Usually old people buy thicker material , in Spore we hardly let baby wear thick material except night time in aircon room.. But i wont quarrel with them. I will just say nicely and see how it goes or bring it for overseas
