[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL does this.  Actually, she's not allowed to watch our son any more when the nanny is off because she can't follow simple directions like "bring a bottle with you when you go out" or "offer him snacks".  I told my husband no more.

Mine doesn't lift a finger to help herself, making it more work for me.  She's really not doing me a favor watching my son.  She asks to do it and my son makes me feel bad for saying no.  So she sleeps on our sofa and leaves her containers of eaten yogurt in our sink all day.

If your MIL is actually helping you with your child, that's different.  Mine doesn't at this point.[/quote]

I should also say that I don't expect anyone to do housework - our nanny does not do housework or cook for us or anything.  But she cleans up after herself.  My mother would visit and put her used glass in the dishwasher.  It's not that difficult. My MIL just leaves her stuff on the counter.  It bothers me, personally, because she's making my life more difficult when she visits.  If she were legitimately doing me a favor by watching my child, it would be different.[/quote]
