[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She lied because she felt she had to. Ask yourself why that is. [/quote]

Why can’t MIL follow a very simple schedule?[/quote]
Grandparents will do whatever tf they want. They think your routines, food choices and rules are ridiculous. Even your mom thinks that, op.[/quote]

In our case this was mostly the truth

My youngest is 13 now so I have a lot of years away from this issue, but I lived and died by the routines I created for our 3 kids. My MIL thought they were ridiculous and definitely likely lied about what happened around schedule stuff. She was left alone with my kids less than my mother was and that’s because my mom would talk to me and tell me when things didn’t go according to plan, but she supported the routine whether she believed in it or not.

I do know that my MIL loves her grandkids to death and would never do anything to actually hurt them even if she thinks nap routines and bedtimes are ridiculous, so for me the lie would be more indicative of issues in our relationship than her trustworthiness with my kids.

What I would do in your shoes is ask DH to let her know that the baby monitor tracks and records everything and in the future to please be honest. Based on what I know about my in-laws I wouldn’t want to make it a big fight. [/quote]
