[quote=Anonymous]I have a weird dynamic where my MIL (DH's mom) has moved to town full time. She frequently says she wants to "help" but doesn't usually make concrete offers and I think she is easily overwhelmed by our high-energy child (let alone adding in the baby). She is also frequently late so that makes it hard to count on her for babysitting. I haven't figured out if it's her personality or some kind of passive aggressiveness. At any rate, I've let it go by not thinking of her as someone who can "help" unless it's an emergency (i.e. someone's in the hospital). I let DH make any requests for help, usually if I'm traveling.
