[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:17 (first of two at that time) here:  As someone whose only grandparent left is elderly and can't help out, I get a little taken aback when I see these types of posts, because when my older siblings had kids, my mom was able to really help them out.  So I am unable to connect with what you are feeling.  I would love an intrusive and loving grandparent to help out and give me unsolicited advice.  Big deal, when she's gone, you shake your head and say some cute things about how she's so trying to be helpful.  She can go to grandparents day at the kids school - mine never had that.  [/quote]

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.  I'm sorry for your losses.

If the OP's relationship with her MIL wasn't really close or friendly to begin with, having her over every day would be horrible.  And having her over every day doing annoying things makes it even worse.  Their relationship will get worse, not better, thanks to MIL's behavior.  She doesn't recognize her proper role in the family, which is not  OP's constant companion, nor is it as a third parent.[/quote]
