[quote=Anonymous]Dated for 4 years and engaged for one. My MIL is local and about a 30 minute drive away.

My MIL “got involved” progressively more as time went on and ramped up “involvement” when we got engaged.

Initial involvement meant inviting me to family dinners, then family gatherings, not so much anything one on one. 
I do recall staying overnight with future MIL when I was engaged, at her request. MIL has always been fearful of staying in her house alone overnight so I did this exactly once and never again.

MIL a made a point to meet up with her DS to “see the ring” before he proposed. Found this out afterwards.

I invited her to go bridal gown dress shopping w me and my mom and that was the first time the moms met.

She (and my own mom) got hyper involved in our wedding guest list, even though we had a very small, under 100 guest list. MIL was so angry that she couldn’t invite every last second cousin that she went to the stationery store where I ordered my wedding invitations and paid for her very own mailed wedding announcement. I found out only after our honeymoon when a relative sent a gift and referenced MIL announcement. MIL copped to this.

Post wedding, she was all up in our business: expected us to come over for all holidays, to include traveling to have Christmas with her side of the family, called DS every day, MIL showed up to DH adult league games. DS was 30.

When DC was born, she again sent her own announcements, but apparently after ours.
