A furious mother lashed out at her in-laws after they bought clothes for her baby at a supermarket.
Seeking help and advice, an anonymous grandmother spoke out on Mumsnet after her daughter-in-law scolded her for dressing her baby in supermarket clothes.
As the story goes, the grandmother offered to take care of her daughter-in-law’s young son so that the woman could go out with her partner, the grandma’s son, and their friends.
As the couple departed and dropped off their baby at the man’s parents, however, they forgot to hand over the nappy bag.
After the grandparents found out they had no nappies for the baby, they decided to go to the local supermarket and buy some there. They also bought a set of new clothes for the baby boy because his outfit was already wet.
“Rather than phone them when we noticed and spoil their day, we had a walk to the local supermarket and bought nappies and wipes and a little outfit for the baby, as he had been a little sick on his clothes and they were a bit wet,” the grandma recalled.
While this doesn’t sound unusual to most people, the child’s mother was furious after picking up her baby and seeing him wrapped up in supermarket clothes. On the following day, the woman went on to text her mother-in-law and scold her for buying her grandson cheap clothes.
“Thanks for having the grandson yesterday but I feel I need to say something to you. Whilst I appreciate you looking after them, I didn’t appreciate that you had changed him out of the clothes he arrived in, for whatever reason,” the text allegedly read.
“I know that when your children were growing up, supermarket clothes may have been good enough for them, but it really isn’t what I want to dress my children in and your taste is vastly different than mine.”
Naturally, the grandma didn’t take the snobbish text too well. Since she didn’t want to make matters worse, however, she decided to stay quiet about it.
“I actually want to reply oh f*** off you stuck up little madam and next time make sure you leave the bag then he wouldn’t have to wear hideous supermarket clothes,” the grandma added before asking the internet for help.
Soon enough, her post went viral and the grandmother received lots of support from fellow parents who condemned the mother for blasting her in-laws after everything they did for her and her son.
“I would politely and as nice as possible explain to your son, not her, why you bought him the change of clothes and point out you didn’t want him to be in wet clothes and she had left the bag and didn’t want to disturb their meal out. Cheeky b**** happy to use you as childcare but not leave you adequate stuff for the baby,” someone suggested.
“What a cow, I’m going to admit I was really bloody hormonal after my daughter was born and for some reason that expressed itself as suddenly intensely disliking my very lovely in-laws. But dear god she is just an utter cowbag,” another one added.
