[quote=Anonymous]If this is your biggest problem with your MIL, then count yourself lucky. I would drop it and re-set your expectations. It sounds like your MIL might have anxiety. My mom does and she basically circles around my kids when they visit wanting to help and asking if she can do anything. She would also wake up in teh middle of the night if we were up. Your MIL probably woke up and wanted to help but not intrude too much - hence the "prowling" (really just her hovering nearby in case you need her) and the asking "what's wrong?" (instead of saying what she really wanted to do --"I'll hold the baby!" in an effort to give you space. You took it the wrong way and assumed she was annoyed with you and the baby and was judging you. I would give MIL the benefit of the doubt this time. [/quote]
