Hi everyone, I love my mil theres no bad blood I'm just wondering if I should be honest with her about the clothes shes buying. To me she has bad baby fashion sense and shes buting lots of clothes for Christmas. She buys really dark, extremely patterned and old fashioned clothes. If I went online and ranked the ugliest to the prettiest, shed always get the ugliest. I nod and say thank you and seem grateful, she seems so excited explaining how nice itd look with tights or a nice pair of socks.. but I'll never put by baby in them so it's a waste of her money and clothes my baby could be wearing. Should i be honest with her and tell her i like lighter coloured clothes that doesnt have such extreme patterns, I dont want to hurt her feelings but I think her actually relising they are now 2 sizes small and never worn would too.

I will put her in a few so I can take a pic for her though.

It’s just clothes, she’s excited so definitely don’t say anything to her about it. Dress baby in them when she sees baby and take photos etc
