[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL doesn't need to say anything that extreme, just watch the kids together.  Not that hard.[/quote]

Cousin's parent stay for a bit after dropping their kid off they want to visit with grandma and grandpa for a bit, have some coffee and cake, but they can't because grandma keeps awkwardly following the kids about or insisting they color at the table. Cousin's parents ask what is going on and grandma says she just wants the kids to be safe. Parents tell her they are fine, let them go play lego. Grandma sits a minute, but starts to fidget. Cousin's parents ask what's up and grandma says she needs to check on the kids.  Son reminds her she never hovered like this when he was a kid. Grandma agrees, but DIL is a worrier and she doesn't want any trouble.
Cousin's parents role their eyes and ask what's the problem now because   SIL/DIL is a known PITA. [b]Grandmas hesitates initially she doesn't really want drama, or risk not being able to see her grandchild[/b], but with a few questions the story comes out.

YES! +1000

That's exactly how that scenario would go down, as the OP DOES sound like a PITA (pain in the ass!).
I imagine the whole family already knows this though, it's probably been the topic of discussion for years.
Oh... and that bolded part is called emotional blackmail (I don't get my way, you're the one who's going to pay).  :roll:
