[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You used the word control or a variation of it, 7 times in your post.  You're an ass.  What human can control another?  If YOU don't want MIL pre-treating your skivvies, then YOU tell her.  It clearly doesn't bother your wife to have MIL take over either, because you keep letting her into your home.  You mention you're close to being empty-nesters, so having her over to play with grandkids clearly isn't the reason behind that.
You both need to grow a pair, tell MIL how things will be in YOUR house or else STFU.
Oh, and quit using the word "control" when talking about other human beings.[/quote]

I totally disagree with this. It's DW's mother and DW should manage her. "Control" is a strong word, but if this makes dh so unhappy, why would Dw not simply tell her mother to stop cleaning?[/quote]

PP here.  OP says she has, although she must not have gotten her point across because MIL continues.  If OP feels that strongly, he should man up and have a chat with MIL[/quote]

OP here. It is not my place to speak with my MIL. It is my DW place to speak with her mom. Perhaps control is the wrong word. Here is the challenge - DW tells her Mom please don't touch our stuff" Mother In Law ignores her. Just flat out ignores her. So, I don't know the proper term  but how to handle a relative in your home when you ask them not to do something and they keep doing it. My DW is not going to not let her mom come over to visit, she will acquiesce. I think my wife would rather tell me to get over it then be strict with her Mom. [/quote]
