    Lol, but every mil would know that her son is just firing his wife's bullets tho. So even if dh told her it'd still come back to you.

    I don't like my babies smelling of other people. I'm amazed at how easily and quickly the perfume gets on them tbh!

    I do agree with picking your battles tho. If you really are physically sensitive to it, there would be a way, like bg. But yeah, just out of preference would cause unnecessary awkwardness I think.

    I'm on my phone so can't see your sig but there may come a time when your DD will become painfully honest about "stinky" grandma and ask her about it which could give you an in to request she tone it down around your DD.

    Ok so I think I got it....

    A) get pregnant again
    B) get hubby to tell her she pongs & it sets off my morning sickness
    C) Teach DD to say 'Nanny stinky' (she's only 5months so will be a while)
    D) if all else fails dress as ninja and sneak into her house and steal all offending perfume.
