She's not an immature teenager. She raised your whole ass husband.

I agree. I hope she stops helping you.

You both sound immature.

It is not immature to not want a stranger sleeping in your home with your kids without you there. Be serious.

He just won’t sleep over. So she’ll deny he was staying there. But in reality almost surely he will be.

This. At a minimum, they both have terrible judgement to even think that asking you for this is okay. I would not want the MIL in charge of my kids ever again. It sounds like she’s getting dementia.

Has DH spoken the words, "I/we would prefer you don't" You two are allowed a preference. It may or may not be honored. You may or may not have a babysitter. You are allowed to speak. She is allowed to ask.

Have an adult conversation.
