Today, mom was so upset when she found out that she is having another granddaughter that she wants us to pay her back for the little boy clothes that she bought before the sex of the baby was known. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 6 brothers and I (a girl) were finally finding out the sex of my mom's baby. It's going to be another boy. FML
Today, I told my mom that my wife and I got her a birthday present, but she won't be getting it until April. That instantly pissed her off, cussing us out calling us cheap worthless selfish bastards. I was about to surprise her that she's finally going to be a grandma. FML
Today, I found out that yet again I'm having twins. Sounds great and all, but the only problem is that my mother-in-law is the one pregnant. Oh boy, I'm fucked! FML
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. FML
Today, I found out my mom has notebooks with lists of everything she has bought for me ever since I was born. Apparently she is going to make me pay her back for all the money she spent on me once I'm an adult. FML
Today, my mom had to go off on my grandmother because I don’t have kids yet and she, "wants great grand babies before she dies." My grandmother was going to gift me a baby outfit for me to get another hint. I’m 25 and can’t conceive because of health issues. I may never have my own kids. She knows. FML
Today, we found out my mother-in-law faked her terminal cancer diagnosis to guilt us into getting pregnant, so she could meet her first grand baby “before it's too late.” In no way can we afford this baby, we are already poor, so this will ruin us financially, yet she’s perfectly healthy. FML
Today, my mother asked a woman at the clothing store we go to all the time when her baby was due. Turns out the woman isn't pregnant. FML
Today, my husband got a vasectomy. My mother-in-law is extremely upset that he only gave her one grandson. Guess my other son doesn't count. FML
Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. FML

She should be glad there is a baby at all! You can't control the sex, I hope it's healthy! Good luck!

Tell her "Sure, we'll take it out of your nursing home fund".

My MIL did the same thing to me. She also insisted I name the baby after her, even though we found out he was a boy. I gave the clothes to a friend who was having a girl, and told her to shove it. I suggest you do the same unless you want her to know you don't have a backbone. She'll constantly walk all over you then. Jmo

Unless they actually say "boy" on them somewhere, why not use the clothes? You can always put a little pink velcro bow in her hair if you want to make sure people know she's a girl. Something like a dinosaur onesie and a flower headband would be pretty cute! Everyone will think you're so modern. :)

well, why did she even buy clothes before she even knew the sex of the baby to begin with? A. it's her own fault, B. she can exchange anyway

Unless they say boy on them I say dress your daughter in those clothes. I wore "boy clothes" a lot when I was younger

Dress her up in them anyway, if it doesn't say something silly like "Mommy's little boy". Blue and pink don't have genders, and I've seen people of both genders wear both. Why not teach from an early age that a person shouldn't limit their tastes to conform? When my sisters and I were younger, we played with dinosaurs, marbles and cars as well as the usual toys for our gender. We had more fun than other little girls who were restricted in their play.

Yes, but they don't have souls.

If she wanted to buy all of that stuff, she shouldve bought neutral colors, like a normal person.

Tell her that's what her stupid ass gets for buying boy clothes before knowing the gender. Why should you have to pay for her stupidity??
