[quote=Anonymous]My MIL and FIL insisted on being first to fly out to "help" us after first baby was born (we live on opposite coasts as both our families). Then they canceled at the last minute (to "help" another one of their children deal with fixing up a house).

They came out to "help" with number 2, and gave us a bill for $2,000 for their services and food they bought while staying with us (incidentally, they changed their 2 week visit to a 6 week visit without asking so they could get a better deal on plane tickets). DH negotiated them down to $500.

While they were visiting, DH asked them to watch the kids while he went to work and I went to an emergency doctor's appointment  (I was having some severe issues). They asked me to make it fast so they could get to a yoga class.

MIL also gave my SIL's kid her first hair cut without asking. So I hid the scissors when they came to visit us.

To be fair, my own mother is a piece of work too, especially around newborns. Perhaps this is why we live on opposite sides of the country as our families.
