[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not unreasonable for OP to be frustrated that her MIL doesn't seem to see that she is working/managing the house/watching children while her husband is away, and instead of MIL asking "would it be OK for me to come over and see Billy and help out," she's saying, "Can you do YET MORE and drive 4 hours to bring my grandkid to me?"

Don't you guys see the difference between a simple request to want to see the grandkid (fine) and a request to drive 4 hours to BRING the grandkid to her? Why would OP need to add yet more to her plate?[/quote]

Has it been confirmed that the 2 hours is one way? Did OP ask if MIL could visit instead? In my world, asking to come over without an invitation is kind of rude.  Besides that, you also get DILs like this, which is why many of us feel that DILs simply can't be pleased:

Ugh, my MIL is demanding to spend time with DC.

DH is traveling so he asked her to pick up DC from school and drive to activities. He has to train MIL how to use car line, give times and addresses to all the activities, etc. I’m not sure if she can handle it.

Honestly, I would rather do it myself. And it’s annoying that MIL inserts herself into our live. She will drive to the school that I picked, will drive to activities that I selected and meet people I found and made friends with. Like a parasite that doesn’t have her own life and has to live off someone else’s.
