[quote=Anonymous]This doesn’t sound manipulative at all. It’s possible for your MIL to sincerely care about how you are doing AND want to see her grandchild. It’s not piling on to make chit chat. She is an hour away. She is ASKING you what time works for you - she is not demanding or showing up unannounced. Your MIL seems like a reasonable person who doesn’t fully understand the stress you are under. It sounds like perhaps she is an extrovert and you are an introvert. That’s the dynamic between my MIL and me. She can’t understand that anyone would ever prefer solitude, so she follows me from room to room chatting my ear off. She offers to come keep me company when my husband is gone - even though my own parents are 25 min away. The difference is that I recognize that my MIL means well and is trying to be helpful and nice - even if sometimes it drives me batty. [/quote]
