Unwanted Gifts from in-laws

yeah mall ofcourse i read everyones posts and you girls were the ones who could relate to what i am trying to say.

If my husband said to me in private, when we are alone that... "yes they are awful clothes lets just forget it" then i would move on but he says..."oh c'mon they're not that bad..." sometimes he even says that they are quite nice!! so that's why i get frustrated!

I live in London and so does MIL she live about 2 minutes away from me!
And i just want to add that she has been a wonderful MIL to me but i feel she just has something against wanting me to look nice or have nice things.
