[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]eh, you don't go through and "organize" other people's closets and medicine cabinets.  And it's strange to rewash and reorganize a carefully put together baby's room.

At some point you cross the line into being intrusive....and, yes, nosy.  That line can vary from person to person.

In general, guests/sitters/even MILs do not go through their host's things.  If they need something they ask for it.[/quote]

I agree with this. If the first birth came early and OP and her husband had to leave things unfinished, in disarray, and MIL came in and did things that needed to be done, that would be one thing. But for her to "re-do" everything and go into closets/cabinets, etc.? It's almost like she was trying to mark territory. It's just not necessary or respectful. OP sounds like a clean, organized person, and she should be respected as one of the owners of the household.[/quote]

Exactly.  It's disrespectful to go through another person's things like that without permission.  I don't care if the closets/draweres/cabinets are organized to your standards.  It's not your house, it's not your stuff.  Not your place.[/quote]

OP sounds over the top dramatic. I bet that the parents just asked their son whether they had a clean set of sheets for the bed and he just gave it to them. However, OP sounds to have a lot of baggage with her in laws. It is very easy to turn a simple story into something twisted. [/quote]
