I'd confront her - and soon before all of the clothing is gone and she has developed too much control. My mother in law did the same thing - and since I didn't confront her she grew into a "monster in law". Over time she started throwing out items in my kitchen and replacing them with things she wanted there. Over the years she was a tyrant - and by the time I confronted her my marriage was over.
P.S. Why won't your husband deal with his mother? Mine woudn't - and it ruined our relationship. Talk to him - explain what you think and feel without calling her a B---ch. Ask him to please deal with his mother for you.
If he doesn't do so in a timely manner perhaps you should write her a letter (it is easier that way - if you do it in person she may intimidate you, yell, make accustions, etc.). Mail the letter and then if she contacts you set limits on the roles of ,mother in law and grandmother.
Best of luck. Train the beast before it eats up your life

Under normal circumstances, you should have the right to keep some or all of your baby boy's clothes. However, something seems odd. Did she purchase or borrow the clothes in the first place? How did she happen to have the clothes? Were they being stored at her house and she needed the room? Have they been there a long time?
Possibly she gave them away without knowing that you wanted them. If so, she should have checked with you first, but let's not go overboard in the blame game. If it is already done, forgive and forget. And next time, you should hold on to the clothes yourself.
That way, there will be nobody else giving them away.

I talked to her approximately it and advised her i could no longer enable the different toddler to be harm so please end determining to purchase maximum of delivers except she ought to incorporate him. the subsequent time it occurred, I thanked her for her thoughtfulness and advised her that, regretfully, i could no longer settle for them because of the fact my little boy were excluded. Thank God that she substitute into extremely a loving grandmother and after that did no longer attempt to overindulge one toddler. God bless her, she grew to become my ultimate pal and that i've got ignored her each and daily when you consider that she died very almost 3 years in the past. i'm hoping issues can paintings out for you.

tell her

and if she still doesn't listen take what you want to keep and hide it or have a friend hold it for you or something

That's just wrong! I mean first of all, why wouldn't she ask you. YOu might've said yes, and just kept a couple as memory to show him in the future. Tell your husband about this incident and see what he does.

TELL HER, that's the first step. Tell her that you will decide what clothes you're giving away. It's really that simple.
