During my pregnancy I collected a good amount of boy and girl clothes (I didn't find out what I was having) it was my plan to take in the clothes of the sex I didn't have and trade them in for credit at the consignment store to buy baby items that I still needed (swing ect.)

Well while I was in the hospital my MIL took all the girl clothes (without my permission) and traded them in and bought boy clothes with them. The clothes that the store wouldn't take she gave to some lady that was shopping at the store (I had already told a friend of mine that has a girl that I would give her some clothes if I have a boy instead ) So I'm mad that my friend lost out on the clothes that I promised her and that I had to pay cash to buy a swing ect. instead of getting the $60+ of store credit that the clothes came out to. Not to meantion the clothes that she picked out are #1 ugly, #2 winter clothes, and #3 infant sized so when winter does come he will be way too big to fit them.

I can't take them back for a full credit because she already took off the tags and washed the clothes, so when I do take them in I won't even get half the credit. I did tell her that I was upset that she did that but I didn't make a huge deal over it because it's already done and over with. She did spend $100 at walmart buying a bunch of outfits, but again they are all infant sized and more suitable for colder weather which means he won't be able to wear any of them, but I'll probably be able to get some credit for them since they will be brand new and never worn.

I don't understand how something like this could happen! Were these clothes that she returned purchased by her? How did she get the clothes without you or DH knowing about it?

She was at my house with my son, no these are clothes that I had gotten myself from thrift stores, garage sales and from freecycle. She knew what my intentions were. I seriously don't know what the heck she was thinking.

That is just inconceivable! You showed much more restraint than I would have. Some people just don't have any concept of private property. I would have been absolutely furious! I think you should have at least asked her to purchase the swing, especially since she seemed to know your intentions.

I "loaned" my ex SIL a bunch of my sons' clothes for her boys to use. I told her not to worry if some of them got ruined, but I'd really like to have the ones that are still in good condition back. I could either sell them at my next garage sale for some much needed (at that time) money, or put them away in case my sister or I have a boy next. What did she do? She gave the nice ones to a friend of hers and the rest to Goodwill. I was so angry. I NEVER loaned or even gave her anything again after that.

Oh my goodness! I would be SO angry, and I thought I had MIL issues...
That is terrible, and you or maybe your DH should confront her, and let her know it's NOT ok. I'm so sorry you had to go through that!
