I would be happy to let my MIL or parents use my house in my absence so they could relax a bit and use the bathroom - 
 at their age, they need to go more frequently!

All I can assume is that your relationship is fraught already, since your MIL has been letting herself in without telling you. Why would she do that? If you don't trust her, you can't let her in, but merely going by your first post, it seems as though you're over-reacting, and not letting a frail old lady have a well-earned rest.

OP here. We did up until now have a good relationship and we help her out a lot, and have always appreciated when we fed our cat and brought in packages while we were on vacation. In fact, we once asked her to stop by to feed the cat for two days, and she said would it be OK if I just spent the weekend there so I won’t have to drive and we said of course! We help her out a lot but have never entered her home without her knowledge. We even hosted a friend of hers who lives pretty close to us who had water damage in our basement. We had never even met the friend but were happy to help out a friend of MIL’s.

Had she asked us first or even told us after the fact, of course we would have been fine with her taking a break at our house. As to your “why would she do that” question…well, exactly! [/quote]
