[quote=Anonymous]The issue seems that your MIL lives with you and acts like any member of the family, meaning involved in everything. And you want your peace and your house to be your house. So, your MIL is acting like an equal member and parent/grandparent in the family. You lack limits and she lacks limits. She is acting like another parent to the child. I bet she thinks she is super helpful with care and with buying for your DD. And I think she is, to a point. You can't expect a family member to act as a guest. She also seems talkative. Ask yourself if it was your own mom would you resent all the questions so much? If yes, you are not cut out for this arrangement and there is a saying that two women is one too many for one household, both can't be alpha moms and rulers of the "kingdom," so to say. Two women, no matter how benign, want to be in charge and that is the whole problem. How do you solve this? No idea.[/quote]
