[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Op again. I want to clarify to all the posters saying I shouldn't complain because she is watching my kids. She's not watching them for me. She comes over because she's lonely and wants to see her grandkids and dh and me. When she comes, I'm entertaining her and making dinner for her and my family. She plays with the kids, but she's really just visiting with us. It's more like how it would be if she was in town for a visit, but she's here all the time. [/quote]

It sounds like there is a lot more going on between you and her than her saying "Mommy said no."  It should not bother you that she attributes your rules to you.  Other factors (her being there all of the time) sound legitimately irritating.[/quote]

Yes, this is true. I love my mil and we get along. I think I'm just getting tired of how exhausting it is when she is here. The house ends up a disaster and I'm constantly stepping in to stop the kids from doing things that she's just letting them do. And to top it all off, not only does she let them do whatever they want, she says "mommy said no" [b]when I have to step in.[/b] [/quote]
If your MIL isn't babysitting (as you said), then why are you upset about having to "step in"?  That's what parents do (when there's no babysitter).  Your argument doesn't hold up.  Find something new to complain about.[/quote]
