OP here. This approach might work for some, but my MIL has no concept of boundaries. To hear, hearing the word "No" means "I can keep asking until someone changes his mind." Hearing the words "We'll let you know when there is news" means "I'm going to keep asking until there is news."

She is not versed in the art of context clues or subtlety. [/quote]
In that case, ask your husband to tell his mom to stop.  Have him tell his mom that she is making you both uncomfortable.[/quote]

I will try this and hope it works out better than during wedding planning. For various reasons, DH and I decided to not engage in ANY wedding planning for several weeks after we became engaged. He explained this to his mom and I assumed she would respect our wishes. She did not. She continued to badger and pester me with questions and suggestions. Eventually he had to hurt her feelings to get her to back off.

Like I stated before, bad track record of respecting boundaries.[/quote]
