Please tell me I’m not the only one . This really upsets me. Every time I send her to my ma in laws she comes she gets…

Sanity saving tip: IKEA has long sleeve art smocks for younger kiddos. Idk if you have one near you or could order it online, but much cheaper than buying new clothes!

Omg girls have there out fit for messy activities they looking like cute painters lol but that's all there allowed to have on when messy

@klazaro, like I said I didn’t mean dress up clothes , her play clothes are still very nice brands . In the end, I don’t care what I dress her in . She needs to take it off if she wants her to paint or do messy activities . And again ITS preventable .

@klazaro, she doesn’t own any Janie and jack or whatever that brand is , that’s way too expensive.

@klazaro, I guess

@klazaro, by nice clothing, I don’t mean dress up , I mean nice Brands . Also here at my house she has has stained something MAYBE once . But any time I have my daughter do something messy like this I take her clothes off and set her up outside . It’s preventable. She should’ve taken her clothes off.

These work great. We always did this at the daycare

@liz41395, exactly ! Thank you!

I’ll be upset too I think I would do what @blueismycolor, suggested

She really should care more though. Especially if she’s not buying her clothes. “So what if it doesn’t” if it doesn’t you’re wasting money on her clothes!

Have you asked you mil to change her clothes for messy stuff? Or maybe suggest to her taking a trash bag and cutting out a cover for her clothes. Like u just cut out a head and arm holes.

Yes do that ! And if she stains her nice clothes,tell her shes buying her a new outfit since she has a bunch of old clothes that she could've changed her in!

@ella__little__bliss sorry i kinda skipped along, just know i read the throwing away part and figured I'd give the advice of keeping the stained clothes for her place or any messy activity 🤷🏻 no need to throw away! (To a point)

@lii94, that’s a good idea ... but I don’t really wanna keep stained clothes here I could tell her to keep them at her place because her closet here is so full already

@lii94, lols if you read the post , I said I was gonna do that ... but tbh all her clothes are really nice 🤷‍♀️

Stop sending her in nice clothes? Lol sorry that might sound rude but its literally the simplest solution i could think of. Instead of throwing out the stained clothes keep them for your MIL and when she asks just tell her "you like to do activities that involve getting messy and i don't want her to stain more clothing so i put her in already stained clothing so i dont have to worry about it"

@blueismycolor, it’s not my child’s fault . She never stains her clothes at home because I take them off during messy activities or make it less messy . All I ask if for more effort , or she can start buyin her clothes lol

My kids always ruin their clothes at my MIL’s. Now I just send them to her house in the stuff she bought them, lol.
