To find it unbearably irritating that my DH´s mother still insists on buying him underpants at every opportunity??

This drives me mad on so many levels: He is a 41 year old man, she needs to let go! I think it´s a very intimate thing - and at the very least I should be buying them or preferably, he should be buying them himself. She really does not like to let any of her children spread their wings and I feel like this is symbolic - "he is still a child, my child, and I will still mother him and poke my nose into his intimate business…! Literally every birthday, christmas, special occasion.

AARRRRGGHHH

Are they SEX pants?

Maybe the pants in question are these horrors:

I know I probably sound unreasonable! It´s is definitely representative of a deeper issue - she is Spanish and has absolutely no sense of personal space, boundaries etc. Not very happy that her 41 year old son

My MIL is also Spanish and I'm happy to report that she's nothing like that ^^

Talcum I will pick up undies for DH if he needs some and he will do the same for me, however in all honesty it's not worth the phone bill - 'Idont do you want shorts or briefs, there's a pack of white/black/floral, any preference?' And the inevitable 'are you a 10/12 in Marks or should I go to (insert other shop here) and get a different size?' Seriously. We've been together for 15 years and my knickers still give him a headache!

It's an odd squabble this.
I can't see my dh getting the hump over my mum buying me a pack of 5 from M&S. He wouldn't give a shit.
