  My MIL has been pretty much AWOL. She doesn't call, doesn't ask about him...I have not heard from her since she visited when he was 3 months old! She did call DH the other day but she only talked about real estate. She is obsessed with house hunting and they move every 2 years or so. 

  It hurts my feelings that she does not seem to care all that much, and I know it bothers DH, too.

  We won't let MIL watch DS. And I have a strict rule that my own mother can only watch him every now and then (like for 6 hours once every 2-3 months). I feel like (in most cases and IMO) having family watch the LO is more stress than it's worth.

  I wouldn't care if MIL was pissed that you sent your LO to daycare. Its your choice. You're making an adult decision and choose who your LO is watched by. It's not her place to judge. 

  I had to laugh at the "she acts more childish since becoming a grandmother". This is EXACTLY my MIL. 

  I feel your pain. But you also put yourself in this place. If you're not comfortable then find a solution that makes you happy. Your MIL is only hurting herself.

  My MIL has become increasingly annoying since DS was born.thank God she's 4 ours away and we don't see her all that often. But we are going to Florida in a few weeks and sharing a condo with her for 7 days. Lord help me.
