So I get a call yesterday to see what size DD is currently wearing. I reply 18 months.
MIL: "No that cant be right thats the size I bought her last summer"
Me: "Yes she didnt wear it last year shes 18 months now and wearing 18 months"
MIL: "Oh okay" "Well I was going to buy her some stuff does she need anything for summer?"
Me: "No we have plently but thank you very much"
MIL" "Okay how about fall clothes, what size then"
Me: "You would be safe with 2T or 24 months"
MIL" "okay"
So she comes over with a bunch of summer things!!! All in 2T which are too big for her now. Plus we have too many summer things. I know I should be thankful and all but why the hell call me and ask me these things? She did buy ONE long sleeve shirt. DH told me to take them back (mind you we have no gift reciept but they are from Target). Now just one more thing for me to do.
Okay vent over
Re: Gotta share my MIL vent
I thought about that but I dont know if I am really wanting to stock up on stuff for next year on the off chance she doesnt fit. Shes 32 inches now and 21 lbs. I guess I was really hoping for some cute fall stuff since we dont really have that much

Totally get your vent, that is why the Bump is good sometimes to vent!
I would hang on to them. My DD's bday is at the end of May. She didn't start wearing her 2T stuff until halfway through that summer. She turned 3 3 months ago and is still in ALL 2T shorts and most shirts. All the 3T stuff is still huge.
I knew she'd be in 2T stuff again, because last summer I had the adjustable waists pulled all the way to practically the last notch. She would have had to gain about 6 inches in the waist and sprout about 4 inches for them not to fit.
She has always been completely average in height and weight.
Yeah, it might not be worth the aggravation. I'd be inclined to keep them or give them as a gift to someone who's LO they will fit. I get where you're coming from though. Not to sound ungrateful, but it's so frustrating when people ask DS's size (or don't) then get him stuff that doesn't fit. He has 24 month and 2T stuff that's been hanging in his closet since he was 10 months old. We have such limited storage space that while I'm grateful people want to augment his wardrobe, I don't have room for stuff he can't wear yet.
