English is not my first language and I am in mobile, so please be patient with me
November last year I(30f) gave birth to our first baby. It's the first in my family and the 6th in my husband family(32m). It's important to say that all the six kids are boys and MIL is in some sick baby girl rabies.
Ever since we made the announcement MIL convinced herself that I was pregnant with a girl. I told her that once we knew the gender she would be the first one to know. We told her it was a boy, she still was convinced it was a girl. She told they whole side of the family it was a girl. I corrected but she told them I was just annoyed bc I wanted a boy first (I wanted a healthy baby, I didn't have a damn about the sex). She also told them we are naming the girl after her mom, which we will never do bc hubby hates his Grandma.
When the baby shower gifts started to come I noticed a lot of things that wasn't in the register. Embroidered things with grandma's name. And it didn't matter we told them the gender and the name, and make clear we are not lying about the gender. Everyone believed her
Well, the baby was born. And imagine the surprise... It was a boy, just LIKE WE HAVE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE. The problem (for them) was that now the baby have plenty of "girly" clothes, pink onesies etc, and we are dressing our baby with them. Specially for his family video calls and for pictures for them.
After Saturday call, MIL called us to scream to us bc we are making the elders uncomfortable for not sticking to a masculine color scheme for the baby clothes. And we have to being this childish, she just through my belly shape was more like girl them for a boy.
We told her we will not change the baby's clothes, and to just await until the dresses fit. He will look adorable. Well I commented the thing w one of my friends and she told me I was wrong and should just listen to her. So AITA?
Edit 1. I did tried to return the clothes, but I needed the receipts and they didn't have me, some passed the period of return (generally 1 month in my country).
I was not trying to be petty or mean, but is clothes, mostly was super nice and I was not wasting.
Guys I already donated the dresses, and some clothes with "baby girl" and things like that. I can be pretty chill but I know this is a spoon full for bullying in the future. I have been dressing him like that not for pictures but in the calls
Luckily my side of the family is pretty chill and gave us plenty of neutral and "boyish" clothes.
And you guys are right, he doesn't give a damn, he paint any color with puke lol 😂😂😂
