[quote=Anonymous]OP.. From what you describe, you are the gatekeeper of the grandchildren. Your husband seems to leave it in your hands. And your MIL sounds like a difficult person. It's an incredibly busy, stressful time of life and you're so lucky to have a supportive and helpful local mom. Think about what you want long term.What do you want your family to look like? Do you want her at your children's milestone events, graduations, weddings? What sort of relationship do you want your children to have with her? Does have a positive or negative impact on the children? You can't make her nicer and probably can't/shouldn't attempt to manage your husband's relationship with her. But you hold most of the power here and she knows it. [/quote]
