[quote=Anonymous]WOW. I would be LIVID! I would read MIL the riot act and wouldn't care how pissy she got about it. If I couldn't trust MIL to behave responsibly with my  young child and the internet I would supervise their alone time for years to come. Sounds like MIL is passive aggressive or selfish (or both).

Is she open to reason? If so, send her a link to a Common Sense Media article on children and the internet. Although, if she's been through this with another grandchild and has an account of her own it sounds like she knew exactly what she was doing.

It also sounds like DH needs to grow a spine. If MIL is behaving like this when the kids are so young can you imagine how manipulative she'll be when they're teenagers and are legally allowed to do such things.

I understand why PP's have suggested that you deal with it in a lighthearted way but seriously, if you *AND* DH don't lay down the law HARD with MIL now, she's going to run all over you and teach DD how to do so also.

Gotta nip it in the bud.[/quote]
