Put all her clothes in the store room and make sure it’s kept well and not like a bunch of junk clothes to prevent any misunderstanding . Prepare a set clothing whenever she’s coming over and ask your hubby to tell her you prepared the clothes so she don’t need to bring more . This will make both of them happy . If anyone were to ask where’s her clothes just say you kept it in the store room as baby is arriving and I believe she will understand .
If your mil is a nice gentle person like you said then don't take it for granted. Your concern is a very small thing and not worth upsetting your mil over. Your husband is right, his mother should have a right to leave stuff in your house and not nice to make her feel unwelcome. Why not buy a separate small drawer for her to keep her clothes, or new wardrobe for baby if there's not enough space.
Tell her nicely will do. If not u can chuck it up at the storage since she only stay 1 to 2 times a year. If she sees and ask, u can reply that u needed the space, and prevent your clothes from getting dusty, I store at ziplock bags for u. " and ask her to bring her clothes home after, in a nicest way.
I don’t see a big issue on this. There is no need to tell her not to leave her stuff in your house. You can just tell her you would be keeping her stuff in a luggage as you need the space for the LO’s things. I believe she would be ok with this.
Some mils are passive aggressive, slowly adding her clothes to slowly move in. Vacuum pack her clothes and keep in the store room. Next time she visits, open the store room and show her it's packed and ready for her to take home.
I don't see a big issue if you're worried she might keep putting her clothes at your place till she wanna move in you can pack in a box the next time she come bring out the box to her let her know instead of telling her
For long term peace... Allocate a side for her instead of whole ....kid also dun need alot space. Stroage can buy and make space... Harmony ..has money also cannot Buy...
Why not wash them and pack them nicely in a bag and hand over to her? Since only 2 to 3 times she visits, it shouldn't be too much of a problem?
Tell your mother in law you need to you the cupboard for baby clothing... can you keep her stuff inside a box instead
Ask your husband to tell her, f she's gentle and nice as you've said she'll understand(:
