Creepy or normal?
Every year for X-mas, my MIL buys underwear for my DH. Usually they are holiday themed boxers but I have always felt uncomfortable about this. My mom sometimes puts cute holidays ones in my stocking and I am fine with it, but for some reason it totally creeps me out that MIl buys underwear for DH. This could have to do with how clingy she is with him. I swear she is going to pop out a boob at any minute and ask him to breast feed. What do you think, is underwear from MIL creepy?
Re: Creepy or normal?
Creepy - but I'll totally outcreep you right now so you don't feel so bad.
My MIL bought me lingerie. When I was 17.

I've never been so mortified in my whole life. She said she thought Alex "would like it."
VOMIT.

I'm with KB. MIL gets DH white tees, boxers, and socks, and dollar store medical products like Tumbs, asprin etc. I don't mind -- one less thing for me to buy him. Maybe it would be sketchier if they were like "sexy" underwear.
GMIL and one of DH's aunts got me lingerie at my shower.

Married
My MIL came bra shopping with me before our honeymoon and came into the fitting room with me and commented on the lift and separation abilities of each bra. She was also there when the saleswoman said that she found something that would be good for our honeymoon, would be sexy, etc.
I don't think she'd ever get C underwear though. He'd be annoyed.

I would find it less weird if she bought him the kind that he wears, but she buys him whatever she thinks he would like/she likes. He hasn't worn the type of underwear she buys him in at least the 5 years we have dated. It's always boxer briefs (my fav!) and not cotton boxers with snowmen on them
She's European guys! Gaah, you Americans are so uptight.
LOL. super creepy by the way Choo...?
This is pretty strange. My mom and I are super close and even she doesn't buy me underwear. It's especially weird to do it for your son whose a man, I think. It would be one thing if it was a practical gift like you said, but the fact that she doesn't even buy the kind he needs/wears is...well, just disturbing.
Choo your MIL sounds like a real peach.
I don't see anything wrong with MIL buying M boxers.
I think holiday-themed boxers are totally cute and appropriate.
I would have no issue with a MIL buying me lingerie now (except that I would probably not like her taste), but when you're 17 that's a bit strange. 17 year olds don't need spicing up (or really, any encouragement for that matter). I don't think being European has anything to do with it.
