[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like there's more to this backstory than OP has posted. My guess-- you work a high-stress job and it would have been nice for MIL to helped out with child care (if not serve as primary provider). She instead chose to keep her schedule free to watch soaps or whatever. But now she wants you to take of them? Forget it. [/quote] Yup. That's exactly it. She also had a lot to say behind my back about the caliber of mother I am for not staying home. I didn't confront her. I made my choices and her opinions are her right. Now she wants to benefit from the financial security I have achieved because I stayed in the workforce, instead of picking my toenails on the couch with her. I am trying to look at this from many angles, but I just can't see how she is owed anything. -OP[/quote]
