Probably. Especially if her son has been asking for financial assistance.[/quote]

How in the hell did you get that from the OP? Especially because she said they had tons of savings so she could SAHM? Oh right, you are just bashing her because you have a bug up your ass about SAHMs.

You'd hate me. I've never had a paying job in my life, I spent almost 6 years as a housewife before children and I don't ever intend on going back to work even when my youngest graduates [i]college[/i], don't care what anyone thinks or assumes about my life. My choice and my DH's choice.[/quote]

I'm a SAHM too and have been for 15 years.  Like the other poster I was trying to see it from the MIL's point of view.  Two reasons that I could think of is 1) while they might be doing o.k. month to month they do tend to ask MIL for money when unexpected expenses arise - the car dies, the furnace stops working, etc. 2) MIL is worried about her son and the stress of being the sole provider in the family.

Neither one or both might be the case in the Op's situation.  Maybe MIL simply thinks that Op isn't doing a good enough job as a SAHM or maybe MIL is asking because if Op does go back to work MIL would love to watch the kids during the day for them.
