Re: Honest Opinions- MIL question
I absolutely want to pick out dd's holiday outfits.
I really like to buy all her clothes. I can tell though that my MIL goes out of her way to pick out stuff she knows I would like though, but I want to pick out the special outfits myself.

Re: Honest Opinions- MIL question
I'd be okay with it. It's a sweet gesture and it's just a dress. Not worth getting upset over IMO.
My mom buys and picks out the holiday dresses for my DD's, i would be fine if it were MIL too. I don't mind at all. If I really like something else, I buy it anyways and they change into it half way through.

Re: Honest Opinions- MIL question
i agree with you C-
I just informed MIL yesterday that i will be the one buying an x-mas outfit for DS b/c since he's being raised jewish and my DH is catholic (we celebrate both holidays), I would rather be the one to pick up out what he wears (something a little more neutral like a reindeer, vs. santa). I figured to say something now b/c her and my SIL bought him outfits for halloween so i figured they would do the same for christmas. It turns out she was shocked i was even going to dress him up for x-mas, but at least she knows i will be getting him the outfits. Now i just have to mention it to my SIL, and i am just going to tell her i already got him something. Truthfully i need 2 outfits any way (one for x-mas eve and one for x-mas) but i want to buy the first holiday outfits.

Re: Honest Opinions- MIL question
I wouldn't be mad. I'd put DD in it on Christmas Eve or to a holiday party or use it as the backup for Christmas after the outfit I got her got messy. If I absolutely hated the dress, I would stick her in it for an hour to get a couple pics and that's it.
I'd be mad if she threw a fit about me not putting DD in it all day but then I'd politely remind her that I'm the mom and I have looked forward to choosing her 1st holiday dress for years.

Re: Honest Opinions- MIL question
This is definently something my MIL would do. I think you are in the right for wanting to dress your child for the holidays.

I agree... My mom and MIL both buy stuff for the boys all the time. If all three of us buy stuff, I just change their clothes more or have them wear one outfit on another day. Boy clothes are boring so maybe that's why I don't get all worked up about it.
I'm sure you MIL meant no harm, she's just as excited about it as you. Tell her thanks for thinking of DD and it's a great addition to the stuff she'll wear around the holidays.
