I don't think they would be concerned about sending things through the mail as thats how they do it all the time for birthdays etc. They sent me $50 in cash in the mail for my birthday. Which actually I was really surprised by because that is alot for them to have sent me. I said to Dh that I was rather surprised by it & he said well you are pregannt so I guess they thing you could use it. LOL I got my hair done! DH even said thats not a very "birthday"type thing to have spent it on, its not what they would have intended it for. STFW! It was a treat for me so I think it was a good hting to spend the money on! Then when I told MIL she was like, "oh was that your birthday present?" I don't quite understand why treating myself to a nice haircut etc is not seen as a good birthday treat. I appreciated the money & being able to get my hair done. I couldn't have afforded it otherwise.
Who knows they may surprise me & send more. I dunno. I just find it odd that they spent say $25max when I am sure both my SIL's will send upwards of $50 each. I have already spoken to one of them who asked what I wanted & said to be honest, money or a gift voucher for big w. that way I can get nappies etc.
If the ILs think we had everything then why send more friggin clothes that the baby will grow out of in a month. If she fits them at all. Both boys went into 000's & they have sent 0000's. Which I wont pull the tags off & change if need be. But I just think clothes for a 3rd baby are so impractical.
