[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is also how it works in my husband’s non-Chinese Asian culture. The wife moves into the husband’s home and the children are the property of his family. My in-laws hit the ceiling the first time I took the kids for an extended visit to my family out of state. Luckily my husband agrees this is crazy. [/quote] OP and this anecdote explains a lot, actually. We don’t live with or anywhere near my ILs, but they’ve always had strong unarticulated feelings about what I’m doing solo with the kids. They wouldn’t leave me alone with them after their births when they came to visit and would try to take them from me, and when I take them on trips for sports tournaments or to see friends who have moved away, my MIL gets very judgey. I thought she was judging my baby care, socializing, and the sports they do, but now I wonder if it was closer to what you’re describing. [/quote]
