This, which makes me think OP is a troll.

Why would your friend start crying because your MIL told her you didn't want any visitors? What?[/quote]
I am not a troll. I want to ignore you because you’re being annoying, burn I’ll answer this last question.

I believe she was shocked because we had earlier discussed her stopping by with a care package, something I’ve been craving and she promised to bring me once the baby got here. I was expecting her. I think she was made to believe by my MIL’s brash comment that she wasn’t welcome. I think she was confused and hurt, maybe embarrassed, maybe a little sensitive. I don’t think it matters why she was crying. I think it matters why my MIL, who knew u was accepting visitors because she was actively planning carry out dinner plans with said visitors, thought she had a right to turn away my friend, without even consulting me or DH.

I get that you just had a baby, but if you come on a public forum people are going to, you know, comment on what you wrote. Like it or not, ignore it or don't, but I also happen to think it's weird that your work friend who you haven't known very long was crying. That's fine if you don't, but others are going to disagree, and that's what you're going to get if you post on here.

Also, if you're so adamant that what your MIL did is wrong, what are you asking about? I think she was wrong, by the way, but when you post on here and ask for advice on how to handle it when you already have an opinion, don't get mad at people whose opinions differ from your own. If you wanted an echo chamber then you should go elsewhere. Enjoy your baby. I can't recommend strongly enough that you stay off DCUM for a while. This is not a good place for someone in your situation. [/quote]
