[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect the people who react nicely to the MIL's actions have good relationships with their MIL's and vice versa.[/quote]

I have a great relationship with my MIL. That is *because* I set boundaries with her early on. She is definitely the type to "reorganize" without asking, but after she did that and I had a conversation with her, she stopped. Being nice/having a good relationship with your in-laws (or anyone) =/= letting them do whatever they want to do just because they have good intentions. Respect is a two-way street.[/quote]

No dear. She's tolerating you because she loves her son, doesn't want to make trouble for him, and probably wants to see the grandkids.  She can't stand you. If you and DH ever divorce you'll find that out with a quickness.[/quote]

Good grief.  The woman is there to help out with her newborn grandchild.  People who *hate* each other or barely tolerate each other do not ask for or give that type of help..

The bottom line is, you can love/care about someone and still cross boundaries.  It happens in families every day.  Just stay out of other people's stuff and be respectful of their homes and privacy.  It is really not that hard! [/quote]
