[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone is being hard on OP. It’s not that she doesn’t allow MIL to visit, it’s that MIL doesn’t feel like she gets to visit as often. When OP’s mom “visits”, she isn’t just visiting but helping out with childcare, etc. so she comes more often because she’s “working”. When I’m a grandmother, I plan to be similar to OP’s mom if I am able to, and if my DCs want me there. I don’t get the sense that OP is taking advantage, or making her mom do anything she doesn’t want to do. MIL sees it as very black and white-she gets more time with grandkids than I do. It’s not black and white. Each relationship is different. OP, your husband really needs to handle this. He just needs to tell his mom that your mom is there helping with childcare, she’s not on vacation.[/quote] So what if you aren’t “able to” be unpaid help? You’ll totally accept being unwelcome?
