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.

She would do that because she has boundary issues and asserts herself instead of risking a no. I would bet that OP’s mil has boundary issues around other things too. Even if relationship is fraught, and not on mil, that does not make it ok to go into someone else’s house without permission. Not a sister, in-law, or best friend. Even when I stop by my parents house out of the blue I give them a quick call when I’m a couple blocks away to just make sure no one is napping or whatnot.[/quote]
