[quote=Anonymous]Yikes OP. I have a lot of this stuff w/ my MIL (especially the invasive personal questions during pregnancy) but not the makeup thing. That is ridiculous! I said to mine, quite directly, "I am a very private person. If anything ahppens medically that might affect the baby or the pregnancy that we think you should know we will absolutely let you know. BUt I'd appreciate you respecting my privacy." And i had to say it a bunch of times and my husband had to back it up. For things w/ the kids we have had to make sure that we're (husband and I) a VERY united front. She gets the same answers from both of us, and our rules are our rules. She isn't the only grandparent and she doesn't have to agree w/ our rules, she just has to respect them. But a woman that would put mascara on a 2 year old and talk to her about how to be a woman would make me lose my cool in record time. Good luck!!![/quote]
