There's nothing offensive in what she says - just the straight facts and it seems to be exactly what you wanted to say, once you got rid of all the extraneous thoughts about favortism, etc. To have lied about the dress code would never have worked. Your daughter would rat out. I’m late and you already handled it, but trust me, Sarah nailed it.

I tried hard to not make it sound like I was criticizing her choice to buy them, though I think her feelings were hurt anyway. However, today Grandma & I went shopping together and I bought Shelby several pairs of jeans, shorts, and pants that are definitely more suitable, and even explained to her what I look for when purchasing Shelby's clothes, so hopefully all is well.

They've each bonded with someone different. The difference with the other kids' is that we don't see them often so it's not an all the time thing. Grandma J****** only lives 1/4 of a mile from us, so it is an always thing. I've tried to tell this her she treats Shelby differently, but she just doesn't get it. Though it's gotten to the point that Lucas has started telling her about it every time she drops off something for Shelby, which makes her feel bad and she runs out and get something for him. Which doesn't fix the problem. I think I'll call my aunt (who's a church secretary & Grandma's daughter) to see what she says about the jeans & pants! Maybe together we can come up with a way to tell without upsetting her.

As the mom of a 16 year old boy, I appreciate your stand on this. My son has enough temptations without some of the clothing that most moms are allowing their teens to wear. Thank you for being a mom who cares. And...why do you let her slight your other kids? You do not want to hurt grandmothers feelings but she is not minding hurt the other kids feelings.

I guess if she does buy more I'll just exchange them and not mention it to her. Phew, she was just here and didn’t mention the clothes.
