Would you find this behavior in your mother off-putting? [Archive]

So today my mom came over to play with DD. They were up in her room and I walked in and *all* of DDs clothes were all over the floor, including a bunch of stuff that I had *retired* to the closet but not yet put in a plastic container. My mother proceeds to tell me it was DDs idea (which is probably was but who opened the closed? DD can't). Then she proceeds to tell me there is a pile of stuff that is too small. In it are a bunch of pairs of pants that in fact, aren't too small, but that she doesn't like and doesn't think DD should wear. She also has a pile that is supposed to be "ironed". So not only is her room a bloody mess but now DD has in her head (as 2 year old do) that some stuff doesn't fit and that I should iron other stuff. Meanwhile, she is now wearing an 18mo. shirt which is clearly too small but this apparently doesn't bother my mother at all.

Anyhow, the more I thought about it the angrier I got. Who is she to tell me what clothes I can and cannot put on DD and who is she to fill DDs head with this crap? And who gave her permission to take everything out of the closet. That is why its in there because I don't want to see it.

It's hard enough to get DD to wear a variety of cute things (always wants to wear the same stuff) without her interfering.

Ack! Yes, that would make me upset. Once a child that age gets the idea that something doesn't fit, or needs ironing, or is dirty, that's it.

Sorry!

That would drive me batty and I can see my own mom doing something similar, though not exactly the same. Mine would nag me about sorting through the clothes until I would finally break down and tell her to go ahead and do it. (Mine lives in another state and has to have projects when she visits. I know she is trying to help, but it can be a bit much.)

I hope your DD soon forgets about the ironing and other nonsense her grandmother put into her head. :)
