[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not being unreasonable. People need more than 20 min notice that someone is showing up at their house. [/quote] Except OP initially texted she was fine, and to let her know. [/quote] OP, I think this is a common growing pain of becoming a mother. Up till this point, in most of your relationship with your MIL, I'm guessing, you focused on being polite and accommodating. It was really hard for me, at first, to stop trying to "host" when people came by to visit my baby because, up until she was born, I hosted when people came over. The next time you see her, I would mention casually that baby is going through a nap/sleep transition and to call you the day before if she wants to come over. That way you don't sound mad about the past, but can set new expectations going forward.[/quote]
