[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. 
Thanks for the replies.

The ex-ILs have calmed down quite a bit as time as gone on and they've realized what a crock of shit XH was feeding them about me and our life. They did/do not know the worst of what XH was/is, and believed that they were doing the right thing at the time. They (and XH) were very soundly shut down by the judge, more than once. They have apologized for some of what happened during the worst part of the divorce and custody issues and I do believe they are sincere.

I have no safety concerns with them taking DC around the city. They know I would bring down all hell if anything happened to my kid while under their supervision.

xMIL is not a bad person, just very used to getting her way and being liked. It baffles her that I don't want to be her friend, I don't look up to her and that I don't want her money. She loves my kid and does want the best for her, she just has trouble comprehending life outside of her small Midwest town. The city intimidates her and she honestly never expected me to be self-sufficient, much less thriving, after I left. So there's this weird undercurrent of her trying to ingratiate herself with me and my family (who want nothing to do with her) too.

Maybe I'll make xMIL bingo and play with my fiance that weekend. Every time she says "You're suuuuuch a GREAT mommy!", talks about how big and busy the city is, or asks about my family, my fiance's family or our jobs, we can X off a box and treat ourselves to a fancy dinner if we get bingo...[/quote]
