[quote=Anonymous]OP, you might need to show your MIL that you are the authority in your house. In my case, if I don't push back or contest MIL's decisions, she quickly takes over and won't listen to anything I say or do. When DC was just born, I followed some of her suggestions just to make her feel appreciated. Well, her suggestions quickly turned into commands. She'd call in the morning and say: Did you do this and that? No? What, do I need to come check on you?! She also loved to berate me in from of the other family members or friends just to show who's the boss; not once, but several times she physically pushed me away from the stroller saying that my presence is disturbing to DC. I had to loose my "respect the elders" mentality and started pushing back, giving her directions, and demanding she follows my rules. Of course she did not give two figs about my rules and made sure I know that. I stopped letting her babysit, and now she sees DC only in DH's presence. I can't make myself visit her every week, so DH goes with DC and stays there. [/quote]
