When my father passed away, I was just a year old and wore a pretty pink jacket and hat to his funeral. When my aunt had her first girl, my mother gave it to her, to borrow, for her little one, and she then used it for her other two children. Then my cousin, my aunts daughter, gave birth to a girl and my aunt gave it to her, and now her sister has had a girl, and she has gotten the coat. Well I recently had a girl, and shes 4 months. I really want the coat back, and my mother has asked for it but she said once her daugther is outgrown it she will give it to me, but the problem is, my little girl and her little girl are the same size, her daugther was premature, so when her daughter outgrows it my little one will probably be to big for it, and I won't get a chance to wear it. It has so much meaning to me, and I really want it. What can say to her so I can get it back, and not be rude about it?

I would go to her house if at all possible and tell her you would like to have your little girl's picture taken in the coat and could you please get it. Don't leave until you do!

I agree w/the first response about going over to the persons house and telling her you want your babies pic in the coat. Just explain to her the meaning of the jacket and how it got moved from little girl to little girl and you haven't seen it in however long, your dad passed away and it was your jacket and it means so much to you and before your baby doesn't fit it any longer, can your baby at LEAST get her picture taken with it. Any normal person with a heart would hear that story and just give it back. If she still has an attitude about it, at least get the picture of your baby in it. Brilliant idea #1. Brilliant!
It will work!

Say what you have just told us here. It's not fair that it's yours and you can't see your daughter wear it, especially with the signifigance of it and the fact that your aunt really didn't have a right to give it to her daughter in the first place.

Just be honest and explain that it means a lot to you for your daughter to wear this outfit. Honesty is always the best option!

Say exactly what you just wrote. Tell her that it was orginally yours and you want to be able to see your daughter in it.
