Why are people protesting that MIL should be able to do this, when it's not the *doing* of it that's the problem, but the doing of it *secretively* plus getting mad when the secretive part was unintentionally taken away from her?

Are people deliberately misreading the situation to feign outrage, or are people just misreading? Or do people have no sense of logic?[/quote]

Pretty sure a lot of MILs or MILs-to-be are getting pretty upset at the knowledge that they don’t rule the roost anymore. Ask before entering someone’s home, people. Pretty basic stuff.[/quote]

I'm a MIL and would never enter the DC family house unannounced.   If they or other adult DC's need help with stuff like waiting for a plumber, appliance delivery, walk the dog, etc co MIL's  plus fathers of adults could volunteer and use a code.  All that stuff is scheduled.  We have had adult DC's enter unscheduled and unknown.  Childhood home where they still have stuff and all that.

I think OP MIL is exhibiting odd behavior.  3 hour round trip for Trader Joe's?  People have had that for Ikea junkets but that's a one off and can involve big stuff.  But groceries?  Not a stop after visiting in the area or attending a show or family event and staying overnight.[/quote]

OP said there were other stores she likes in there area, too. Maybe she’s into Nordstrom Rack or something like that, or yeah, maybe an IKEA. I’m not excusing MIL’s insane behavior, but it’s not just TJs from the sound of it.[/quote]
