Does your mil insist on taking your  child/Ren every weekend? And if she doesn't see them at least once a week gets extremely sulky. Mine does! She has asked for our son 4 weekends in a row now and I'm getting fed up! My partner works so much that he doesn't get to spend time with him after work so weekends are his only play and catch up time. Mil said "he doesn't love me and and won't remember me" and it had only been a week!

Ugh, well.  If you offer her time and it is during the week and she won't take it---  then that is really on HER.  You tried.  Right?  You and your husband just need to let her pout and say that we are having our family time this weekend, see you can see X (your child's name) on Monday through Friday.  Period.  Lay it down like a law ever if she sulks.  Friday is a great day to hang with family so maybe she can do Friday afternoon until evening and get her kid fix and then disappear for the weekend.  Just be united with your husband and know that you are the bosses!  hang in there

We've told her to visit during the week, but she doesn't.  I don't know what to do :(

[specialmom]

What about asking her to hang with your son during the week?  

[kays01]

*have to ask her if we can have our own son back on a Saturday. No parent....

[kays01]

There's a fine line between loving and over bearing. And my MIL is definitely over bearing. I WANT to spend weekends with my son before the new baby comes. She plans trips away with him before even asking us :/ we have to ask her if we can have our own son back on and way Saturday,  no often should have to ask there mil for permission to have there own child back

[specialmom]

If your husband is working long hours during the week, perhaps you could arrange with your MIL to spend time with your child some weekday or evening to give yourself a little break?  That would be an excellent compromise!

I moved over 600 miles away to avoid contact with mine. I have not had to deal with her in over three years.
