[quote=Anonymous]She won’t have significant influence over your (future) kids. As the parent, you can set boundaries and enforce them (when she she acts out, the visit is over, etc.). Your kids will observe this. It’s a part of life, and it won’t hurt them to take it in and understand. They can learn from how you deal with it. No matter what shenanigans your kids observe, you and your DH are their primary influence. How you raise them is what will shape them — the values your family lives by — and they will eventually be able to observe your MIL with a critical, distanced eye. My kids and I have had many conversations about family members whose behavior and value system seems to be at odds with our own. They make observations, and we talk about it. It’s okay.[/quote]
