Will start by saying that MIL is nice and we do get on v well, so am not a MIL-basher.

Am currently in lounge expressing milk and MIL is in kitchen on the phone. MIL came round for lunch as she is babysitting for us later on. She is talking v loudly and I've just heard her say to her friend that she should come round later on. AIBU to feel a bit uncomfortable about this. MN jury - do you think it's ok to invite someone round to someone else's house when babysitting? This is first time MIL has babysat for us so would appreciate views on what is and isn't ok, as am not au fait by babysitting etiquette...

Sounds excellent solution Isabella.
If I had your MIL then I wouldn't ask her to babysit in the first place ratspeaker!

Pisces the ILs didnt babysit very often

My MIL although very nice is very niave sometimes, she usually twigs after a while.
The last one I recall was her telling me a few years ago about her pal who'd witnessed a murder.
A yound mum was hit over the head and the woman from the corner shop left unconcious.
She was so worried for said pal, what if the murderer comes after him, why aren't the police protecting him etc etc

Even I knew it was a Coronation Street plotline

Isabella good luck
