[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It’s the lack of boundaries that is bothering me—opening a package addressed to me is beyond. This will be her last time watching my kids without me around. She will never be alone in our house again. She has proven to be nosy and meddlesome and snoop-y before; this is the last straw.

Luckily we have no shortage of babysitters. My local aunt, my parents, my cousin, friends with whom we already swap overnight sitting duties, and a few trusted former daycare teachers. We didn’t need the “favor” from her; this was a way for she and FIL to spend quality time with the kids, which they ask for.

Oh well. She can’t be trusted alone in my house, so she never will be again.[/quote]

My mom would do something like this. The problem is, when you assert your position on the matter, she will make you out to be petty and selfish. What, it's chocolate! It's meant to be shared. What kind of person wouldn't give her mil, who  is doing a nice thing for you, a piece of chocolate?!

See what I mean? It won't matter that she opened your mail, she'll make it sound like there was a box of chocolates on the counter she assumed she could have some.

But what can you do? [/quote]
