[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, sometimes I'd rather be alone than have my MIL stay for a visit....but bursting out in tears over her coming?  That's pretty harsh...[/quote]

There was no mention of the baby's age but I got the feeling DIL was still in newborn, hormonal, sleep deprived land. She probably wanted to vegetate with her baby, and sleep in spit-up covered clothes for two days! I wanted that when DC was tiny.[/quote]

And sit around with her top off since the baby was nursing all the time anyway.  Not something I'd want to do with my mil around![/quote]
Your MIL has never seen boobs?[/quote]

That is so beside the point.  It does not matter whether or not this MIL is perfectly comfortable seeing her DIL's boobs.  What matters is that it makes the DIL feel uncomfortable having her MIL there .
A visit is one thing - and totally reasonable.  Inviting yourself to stay at another person's house for a long weekend is just....rude.[/quote]
