Funny really. Sadly never knew my MIL as died before marriage to wife. But wife was complaining about my mom the other day. My wife is heading off on a trip end of May and my Mom rang to say that she'll be flying over to "take care of me" while wife is away.
Got the wife in a tiz. LOL

I think we should start limiting the MIL threads, we might end up with the front page filled up with it if everybody decides to have a go at it.

Yeh she does help out. Yes we always appreciate here. Wife is constantly telling her, we buy her flowers and gifts etc to say thanks.
I think her main issue is and she keeps harping on about this. In her day, her mother never looked after her kids at all ever - it wasnt the done thing (she says).
So, even though, now her husband is gone, she sees it as her kids duty to look after and make sure shes ok. However, anything else like helping out in return is seen as a huge favour on her behalf because its not something she should be doing.
However, if she didnt want to babysit then fair enough. But its more than that.
Yes considered getting a carer but its not really what wife wants - a stranger in the house etc. All she needs is a day or two help for someone to watch the baby for an hour or two each time.

The key to a successful MIL situation is to ensure that you don't speak the same language!
My MIL is actually really nice, but we don't understand each other at all
