[quote=Anonymous]I'd pick my battles. MIL is clearly controlling but she is doing you a favor. I agree with the labels on food you want kept. I'd just get over the bed and cabinet thing (just make sure nothing remotely compromising will be found -- put it in sealed cardboard boxes in the basement or something) Tell her you just washed the clothes *the day before* and that they are carefully arranged. Ask her to please not to go to the trouble. Then what I'd do is give her some things TO do so that she can feel occupied that aren't demeaning. Can she cook? Is there a rusty doorhinge far from you (in the basement) FIL can occupy himself with so he feels useful but doesn't annoy? Can she take your toddler on a special outing? I'd also have DH go home and check on things periodically and try to run interference before you get home. [/quote]
