[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drama queen much, PP? Swooping and barging and sweeping? It's the mother of her husband, not some stranger. He came from her, created from her body, and it appears she lovingly raised him just the way OP is now raising her child. When your kids grow up, you don't suddenly forget they came out of you, or that you spent all those years caring for them. You don't suddenly stop loving them. You let go of them, and a partner takes your place as the center of their life, and you step back. However you feel about your MIL, you need to remember she's your spouse's mother. Look at your own kids and imagine them turning away from you, and their future spouse being so cold toward you.[/quote]

I think that you are completely missing the fact that Op does, indeed, welcome MIL  in their lives.  This little family does, indeed, spend weekly time with Grandma.  MIL is just the type to take advantage and intrude on them at every whim.  That's the part that's wrong.  MIL is not a co parent of this child, she is the grandparent. She doesn't live at their house, she is a visitor who acts like she has every right to be there whenever she feels like it.  That isn't nice.[/quote]
