I wouldn't buy her brand new clothes but I'm also lucky that my aunt of 4 children will pass down clothing that she thinks I could use here. I've also had dc parents donate their old clothes from last season as well. I've probably spent $5-$10 total on clothing because I pick them up at garage sales. I've been lucky to have parents not take advantage of this extra service I provide I guess.

i can only think of 3 options...tell the parents they need to supply these clothes or you will have to terminate care for breach of contract or you can supply the clothes or you can not worry about it (which is hard because we always want the best for the child) hopefully they start to supply the clothes when they realize you mean business!!!
