Background- Ex-MIL is competitive, jealous and a compulsive shopper. She is also snooty about used clothes. (she only buys new polyester stuff for DS at Walmart)
Okay, I will say her taste has improved *slightly*, but a lot of stuff is immediatly donated. I used to return stuff to get better quality, but ExH ratted me out and now she cuts tags. My son has a ridiculous amount of clothes. I try to put him in something she purchased when I know he will see her.
I purchased a very nice LLBean jacket for DS at goodwill. The only way you know it is used is that there is another name written inside on the school tag. My mom and I put some cute patches on it to personalize it (snoopy and an Apple).
I got harangued by Ex H as to where the jacket came from, and if I needed a jacket I should have told him so they could buy it. I found myself saying- I can purchase my son's clothes and dress him how I want thanks. (he has several jackets) This is also funny in light of the fact he has paid no child support for a year and still owes me $$.
I was also told that DS refused to say what my mother and Santa got him for Christmas. I asked him about it and he said "I just can't take her anymore.. all that yacking- so I said NOTHING". She is constantly trying to make it into a grandma competition and is jealous of the fact my mother lives closer.
Rant over.
