[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the overriding issue is the MIL isn't listening to and respecting your wishes (or maybe not understanding what they are). I think it would be useful to sit down with her and your spouse and have a talk about the parenting style you want to use and what is off-limits for her (i.e. she should not cut the child's hair without asking or drive her, etc.). The car situation is tricky, but ultimately, you may need to just be blunt about it. You could possibly phrase it as, "We aren't comfortable with our child riding in the car with anyone but us. Plus, we'd like to reduce her time in the car in general for safety reasons. We only drive with her when it's absolutely necessary." But then you need to follow through on that yourself.[/quote]
