[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised by the varying opinions on this.

I'm most frequently in the IL camp when people complain about them here.  But not this time.  Outright lying to me about my kid is not OK.  Ever.

And to those that say that OP is rigid and uptight, that may or may not be true.  But this is where "two wrongs don't make a right" comes into play.  If OP had rigid rules and Grandma just didn't follow them, I would be in the camp of letting it slide.  But here OP had rules and Grandma, unprompted even, lied about it.  That erodes trust and is never OK.

I would have a direct conversation about it- ask her why she told you something that wasn't true.  Then wait for an answer.  [/quote]

[b]It could be that she simply lost track of time. [/b]Maybe it was close enough to nap time or that's when the baby seemed tired. This is not the hill I would die on, so to answer the question, it would not bug me very much. The chance to get away for 24 hours was worth it. Nobody offered that to me when my kids were little.[/quote]

According to OP the bolded is not possible.  MIL lied in real-time- she texted to say the kid was sleeping while the kid was not.  It was an intentional lie.

"At 1:05 she texts that she got dd down for her nap right on time (at 1:00) at 3:00 she texts she got dd up and they’re heading to the park. Nanit (baby monitor that you can watch on your phone and logs activity) shows actually dd didn’t go down until 2:40 and was up at 5pm."[/quote]

Then I guess she was busted by the app. OP can just add herself to the list of millennials who have no help from the grandparents and see if that makes her happy.[/quote]

Or, or just maybe she could have a conversation with her MIL about why she lied.

As I said- I would let a lot of things slide- sleep schedules, food, toys, screens/electronics, all of it.  But umprompted straight out lying to me?  That is a different story.[/quote]
