[quote=Anonymous]Talk to your MB.

She should talk to all the grandparents and tell them to let you do your routine with the kids.
I've had a situation like this in the past with one grandma. My MB at the time talked to her and said that when I was there, I was in charge. I'm not sure exactly what she said, but me being in charge was the point. 
It changed things around 180 degrees - grandma was old and lived an hour away, close to MB's work, so she brought her home for 3-4 days EVERY week. It was really tough if I put kids in time out and she would go and hug them and say they could go play. Kids knew they had to listen to me, so they stayed in time out, but cried even more. Same thing with wiping butts. She would rush to the bathroom to do it for them (I think the boy was around 5 or 6). I tried to tell her that he needed to learn to do it on his own, especially because he was in school. DB totally backed me up on it one day when he came home from work early - the child started screaming from the bathroom for grandma (MB's mom) and she rushed over, but he stopped her right at the bathroom door.
Soon after MB had a talk with her about me being in charge.

It's tough. Hang in there and definitely talk to your MB.[/quote]
