[quote=Anonymous]I would say we share a MIL, except my DH is an only child so that's impossible... You can still refuse to use the diaper service. It would be a waste of money but a good lesson to your MIL. That's probably what I would do in your shoes. I also like the PP's suggestion to try to resell the subscription and use the money for something you can use. I'm also pregnant with #1 and I have similar concerns about in-law boundaries. I think you're handling things perfectly. Just keep establishing those boundaries. No, you will not have overnight guests. No, you will not use gifts that you said you have no need for. No, MIL cannot decide how you are going to feed your kid or what time is nap time or how many cookies a baby can eat. Repeat ad nauseum. Good luck. If you hit on any magical technique that works with ILs who have no sense of boundaries, please come back and share.[/quote]
