Having parents and in-laws buy clothing for your children can be a huge help to cut down costs as kids constantly outgrow their outfits. However, one mum said her controlling mother-in-law has overstepped boundaries by demanding she dresses her children in specific clothing on certain days.
The mum was left baffled after her in-law began dictating what her kids were wearing and demanding they wore everything she buys for them. The woman took to Mumsnet to share her mother-in-law's "strange" behaviour as she looked to seek advice on the situation from other users, Hull Live reports.
Captioning the post, 'Is this weird?' she wrote: "My mother in law (MIL) buys kids clothes and asked me to put them in them on specific days. I had already bought their Christmas outfits and put my kids in those, but put them in MIL clothes on other days.
