how to handle MIL? My MIL loves 2yo dd but whenever we visit her, she is so focused on getting alone time with dd so they can "bond" that she practically orders dh and I to give dd time with her. We visited them this past weekend and even though dh and I had her babysit one night and take her out for several hours in the morning, she still would hover over dd, try to get dd to come to her if she was with one of us and repeatedly talk about how much she has to have dd all to herself. We don't act like this in my family so I'm trying to get used to being bossed around but it's tough. She also enjoys disciplining dd and teaching her life lessons, "training her" as she calls it in front of dh and myself. We are her parents and I don't think dd needs to be trained or controlled. Dh doesn't like it, but this is what he's used to so he complies. But it drives me nuts. I want dd to have a relationship with her grandmother, but I have trouble dealing with this bossy person. Others have bossy in-laws and how to deal? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

What does your DH think? Can he be the one to deal with her? Sounds like she needs to relax a little, although it's nice that she wants to be involved (my MIL just goes shopping & naps when she visits). [ Reply | More
