Dear Queenie,
My daughter-in-law has very poor taste in clothes. Everything she wears is too tight or too skimpy and shows everything she’s got, including what should be private between her and her husband, my son.
Queenie, should I ask her to dress better, at least when she is with us? Should I show her how if she really doesn’t know the difference?—Embarrassed mother-in-law
Dear Mother-in-law,
Criticising your daughter-in-law’s taste in clothes would not be a good idea. You could talk to your son, ask him what he thinks about all this, and let him handle the matter.
Also, whenever you have reason to give your daughter-in-law a gift, make it a piece of clothing in a style you approve of (making sure it is the correct size) and hope she will wear it, at least when she is with you.
