MIL

Does anyone else have a MIL or any other family member that continues to talk about how they are going to let your little one do whatever they want even if you say no? My MIL is like that and I have a feeling I am going to flip out on her before too much longer.

My MIL doesn't talk about it, but she lets my son do whatever he wants. He is hyper as is and when I let him go to her house or sleep over, he comes home completely undisciplined and out of control. So fed up!

Ugh, it's the great thing about grandparents!

My MIL and my Mom aren't too bad, but definitely don't follow our rules at their houses.  Kids will learn quickly that they can get away with more at their houses than yours.  You have to la

My in-laws are used to me being the agreeable and passive DIL. I think its going to be a shock for them when I turn into momma-bear. I won't mind if they bend the rules a little. They haven't said anything like what your MIL said to make me worry yet

I can see this being an issue for me as well. I have 3 dogs and we are very strict about letting them have human food and they NEVER get fed from the table while we're eating. I told my MIL and SIL this, but they refuse to listen and sit there right in fr

My sister's ILs are like this.  She doesn't have any kids yet, but is nervous because of how her niece and nephews are spoiled.  The niece knows if her parents say no, Grandma will say YES!  And even though another SIL has asked her sist

Sounds like a perfect time for.

What you say: "I'm going to let the baby do whatever it wants even if you don't want them to"

What I hear: "I want to spend absolutely no time alone with my grandchild"

I was once told that if I were to lay down ground rules they don't care for (whoever is watching the kid) then I shouldn't be leaving the kid with them. I guess the kids only get to see grandma when you are around :-/
