[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or you could try making her feel included in common areas instead of hiding out in the bedroom with her granddaughter and then getting all put out when she wants to join in.  jerk.

OP here. I wasn't "hiding out." After serving a great breakfast, I took a shower while they played, then when the other adults showered and dressed, we made the bed and had playtime.

They've been here for more than a week. I've cooked, we've done activities, we've chatted, we've gotten a sitter and then taken them out to dinner...

How about give us 20 minutes alone, knock, and get off my BED?![/quote]

Yeah, your MIL was out of line.  There's no reason for her to go in the master bedroom, and it's really ok to have a few minutes alone with your kid.

Did you say anything?  The only thing I can think of would be an instant response as soon as she started to go through the door saying, "We'll be down in a minute!"  But that's hindsight.  I would be so shocked if my MIL did this, I wouldn't really know what to do.[/quote]
