[quote=Anonymous]Is your mother or MIL like this?

My MIL feels like (and in the past has actually said as much) that all information should go through her so then she can distribute the information accordingly. Here are a few examples:

-She literally knows every single gift we have ever given anyone on their side of the family. Not just local family but also out of town relatives. 
-When we were engaged, she was upset because she wasn't included into the bachelor party planning and felt that she should have had more information about it.
-If I send a text to anyone in the family, she always seems to know about it. Often will tell me/text/email about a text she wasn't even a part of that doesn't have anything to do with her.
-Around our wedding, she explicitly told me to tell her who sent gifts and what they sent us so SHE could thank them.

I usually just ignore it but it seems so odd to me. I can understand things coming up in conversation "Oh, Larla texted me about the graduation." or "Larla sent a wonderful gift!" but it seems to happen with EVERYTHING.

This is more just a vent rather than a what to do post. I just can't stand someone being in my business all the time! I try to not let it bother me but it just irks me.
