[quote=Anonymous]Your DH needs to have a boundaries talk with her. The new baby is the perfect excuse. He should do it in the most loving way, but he needs to make her understand that just because you're a stay at home mom doesn't mean the door is always open Monday-Friday. (He can remind her that she most likely didn't allow her MIL into her day at every one of her MIL's whims.) You can't have this talk. It can only come from him because nothing he says to her will make her think less of him - but it will make her think less of you if you try telling her any of it. Have him take her out to lunch one day, just mother and son. She'll probably respond well if he tells her from the heart why certain boundaries during the week are important. DH and I went through the same thing. It's just 'growing pains' as I like to refer to it. But now, we're in a great groove with his mom (who also lives 20 minutes away!)[/quote]
