[quote=Anonymous]Oh, OP, I so feel for you.  I hate having my space messed up, especially after I have invested time in organizing everything.  (My MIL, who is halfway decent in most ways, is also a complete snoop and would go through every drawer, every file, everything.  I've taken to locking things in my desk drawer if she's ever home without me there.)

I'd make up something written that you can give your husband with "Helpful hints" or something, that he presents to them.  Have some of it be actually helpful hints -- like:

1) Toddler Advil is in the cabinet above the dishwasher.  Please give 2.5ml in the dropper every 6 hours if needed.

2) All of the infant clothes in Junior's closet were just washed and organized.  No need to do anything in there.

3) All of the linens on the beds were changed yesterday.

4) Extra pullups for Sam are in his bedroom closet.  Extra sheets and puddle pads for his bed are in the bottom drawer of the white dresser.

5) All of the food in the refrigerator is fresh.  The casserole dishes are Linda's favorite food for when she comes home from the hospital - please save.

The unnecessary cleaning you may have to just forgive, but at least this way they won't undo work you've already done.

As for bedroom boundaries, the funniest advice a read here once was to leave a dildo somewhere.  Inlaws tend to avoid places where they might find surprise sex toys.  :-)
