Changing clothes

[26mcjrfm]

So... Another DMIL one! My MIL and I get on well (which is relatively unheard of on here ).

Last week, DMILs friend was having a birthday party for her granddaughter and invited my MIL and DD along. I dressed DD in a lovely denim dress with a colourful top and tights - cute, thought I. (Bearing in mind DD is 18months old).

I collected DD and her clothes were immaculate for being at a party- she isn't one for keeping clean at the best of times never mind when cake is involved. I was slightly confused by this, until I asked DMIL to see photos of DD at the party. To my horror, she was wearing the most hideous jumper I've ever seen in my life. Literally.

MIL never mentioned it, and neither did I but DP seen the look on my face!

Before people harp on at how ungrateful I am, and how lucky I am that DMIL takes DD out - I really am and we have a great relationship the majority of the time.

This is quite in jest, but WIBU to be a bit hurt? Should my fashion and the clothes I put on be changed as her DGM didn't like them? My daughter is a reflection on me and not her DGM? I'm slightly embarrassed that people at the party seen her in the jumper (it was truly hideous). Haha

We need a picture. Was it that bad?

Sounds like the sort of thing my MIL would have done.

Please share a picture of the jumper!

Whose jumper was it? If the room was cold (or they were doing something messy) she might have been lent one by the host.

I really want to see the jumper

I can totally relate though. When my daughter was tiny her grandma would change her clothes when they had her. I would dress for the weather and she preferred white, princess, frilly dresses with fucking bells in the hem and no cardie.

Man I wasn’t happy when I saw her in the monstrosity and made no bones about it.

Yes, we must see the jumper.

When I had dd exmil bought some dresses from a church sale complete with moth balls. Informed me she would be changing dd into them whenever she had her.
She never had her without me around.

Job done.
Suggest you follow suit.

Still waiting for a hideous jumper picture ;-)

I don't want to cause any offence to any MNetters who may have purchased said jumper!

Let's just say it was luminous like a highlighter, fluffy and puffy, and paired with luminous leggings. Not my style at all . I don't want to sound snobby - but it was so tacky looking, and nothing I would ever dress DD in.

I just thought it a bit disrespectful, but I'd never say anything as we do have a good relationship and she is very kind to DD.
