No, I don't have a picture. Yes, she has an Easter dress, but it's hanging out on the back patio airing to get the cigarette smoke smell out of it.
As you all know, I have issues with my MIL. She's a really nice person and means well, but I have trouble with her. I admit that it might be me and I just give her no slack.
A few weeks ago, we were at their house (we're trying to go there more) and she casually asked me if Bella had an Easter dress yet. I said, "not yet, but I was looking at them the other day". Nothing more was said.
Well, this past weekend, we were there again (they watched Bella for us on Friday night)and she brought in a purple flowered dress (hence the cigarette smoke). Actually, two of them as she got one for Cylie as well.
Easter dresses.
OK, I really don't mind that she bought them. I appreciate the gesture, but........
A. I wish she had asked and further asked if there was something special we wanted.
B. She let a few weeks go by without even letting me know, knowing I had already looked at them.
C. It's purple and I had my eye on a really cute pink hat for Bella.
Am I just a bitch???? C'mon, be honest..............

I think she's trying. Maybe in her mind asking if you had bought one already was the same as saying she wanted to buy one.
I don't think you're a bitch at all. There are certain things that a mom wants to do. To me, that's like picking out the coming home outfit, or the first Christmas dress, etc. An easter dress is special!
I wouldn't say you're a bitch because you're not. I understand wanting to have a say in what is picked out. I understand the MIL also wants to be involved and having the two girls dressed alike is kind of a cute idea. One other thought is how would you feel about this if it was someone from your family or even just someone other than MIL that did it.
I wanted to pick out AJ's first Easter outfit and I did. I knew what I wanted for him... so I am glad it was me that picked it out. It was nice of them to do it, but I can understand where you are coming from!
