Another Too Funny Post
ohhh i am sooo mad at MIL's sheer forwardness!
Today while babysitting DD for one hour she went through my baby's clothes and cut the buttons off any she deemed 'unsafe' for DD to wear!
MIL did not leave the top buttons in any sweather, shirt, dress etc...
i was speechless and told her she should have asked for mypermission before damaging my daughters clothes but she shrugged saying she was keeping her grand-daughters safety in mind and buttons pose a choking hazzard.
i feel undermined :( i cannot wait for DH to come home so i can vent vent vent!
ladies you may say i will laugh at this in time.... but right now i am mad! Times are hard and i cannot afford to replace these garments!
Part 2:
heres the update ladies! overnight I became more angry when DH tried to convince me that MIL is a concerned grandmother with the best of intentions. Like hell she is! I drove to MIL’s earlier to confront her. I told her self-righteous face that she had no right interfering with DD’s clothes. I take the safety of our daughter seriously and if I thought anything posed a threat to her safety I would remove it without hesitation. She told me I was over-reacting…and asked would I prefer her to turn a blind eye to safety issues? – I said YES when it is in MY home. I said I need the bathroom. My heart was pounding when I went into her bedroom with a scissors (I came prepared) and cut the buttons off 2 coats and a shirt. There was a beautiful cashmere coat hanging on the door but I didn’t have the guts to attack that lol… I waked back to MIL who was in the kitchen making us TEA!!! Wtf!! There were 2 cups on the table and a plate for cookies… I said ‘would you like buttons with that?’ and threw the buttons on the plate/floor and slammed the door behind me. Im just home and shaking like a leaf. I feel liberated! But I can sense that there is trouble ahead after but I’ll deal with that when it comes! Ladies did I do the right thing?
