[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Going to answer a few things.

[Quote]Wait - you made your MIL do the heavy lifting while YOU watched the baby? [/quote]
MIL didn't do heavy lifting. She moved some boxes into the van. I packed boxes while keeping an eye on baby. He's clingy lately. We're not comfortable just popping him into the pack n play and leaving him out of sight. He'll scream bloody murder if we do that. It's not ideal, but it is what it is right now.

My MIL is really young. Mid-50s and runs 10k races. Please don't think I'm asking little 70 year old granny to do these things. The actual furniture moving was DH and his cousin.

[Quote]I'm wondering how you are so sure your SIL is a bad parent - you, with all your experience parenting a single 5 month old baby? [/quote]
Seeing as MIL comments on SIL's poor parenting, unprompted, with regularity, I'm pretty comfortable calling her a poor parent. MIL expressed shock to me and DH at the comments SIL made when dropping off TK. According to DH it came up again today when he called to say he put the book she left behind in the mail.[/quote]
