Take your baby to jail?

Yeah, how did the talk go?  Was she able to be rational?

Talk went great, again. She tried sobbing and crying with me telling me how grateful she is that we allow her to watch DD, but I wouldn't budge on my decision. Just to be clear, she is an extremely nice, loving person. To the point of being too nice...which is why I want to be home when DD gets older. She doesn't believe in discipline of any kind.

The real issue now is with MH. He won't support me and says that I only have issues with his mother because I'm "jealous". Yea...right...

I literally rolled my eyes at YH.  Grow up dude.

Wait, what do you have to be "jealous" about? Momma's boy needs to seriously grow up. It's not like you're saying she can't spend time with your LO. But she needs to be in grandma role, not caregiver role.

If my husband ever accused me of being jealous of my MIL, I would punch him in the throat!

Late to the party on this one, but have you guys ever tried marital counseling?  I know a lot of people consider it something 'only couples who are on the verge of divorce do,' but it has honestly made all the difference in the world in my marriage.  My husband and I almost didn't get married, in part due to the relationship he had with his mother.  She has a very dominant personality; she can be a very caring woman, but she also has very strong opinions.  One of her opinions just so happens to be that she is always right.  ;;)  Counseling helped us to not only work towards creating healthy boundaries with others, but it also gave my husband the tools he needed to enforce those boundaries with his mother.  Our counselor was very adamant, my husband needed to be the one to enforce our boundaries with his mother.  I hope you guys can get to some sort of agreement on that front!
