Would this annoy you?

First off apologies as its MIL related.

Oh & I are currently living with my dm whilst she renovates & MIL has been round to visit oh & ds. Dms neighbour popped round with some toys for ds that her boys are too old for now, really nice stuff & stuff that goes with what he already has & loves to play with. I was in the kitchen & can hear dm telling Mil about it & mil quickly announces that she better have that for her house. At this point I haven't even seen the toys & as dm is telling me, mil again says she will take it all for her house.

AIBU in thinking she could at least have had some manners & asked me first. Ds hardly ever goes to hers (she come to us at least weekly) & has plenty of toys there anyway. She is a bit funny about having the same as dm when it comes to ds, she bought a toy box the same day she saw dm had 1 for him then demanded I buy new toys to fill it as I had for dm (I didn't dm bought them all for him).

I'm most likely being totally over sensitive but with home being so stressful at the minute MN is my salvation! x

Yes, it would annoy me, but I'd probably feel pity for her as she seems to have some issues. Quite frankly if she wants them let her take them for an easy life. When your ds is round there you can easily take back any toys he falls in love with to your house. Play the best for the child card etc if she kicks up a stink.

Yep, annoying and ridiculous! I hope you said no, he wants to have his new toys to play with here!

So did she take them in the end or did you get to keep them? Sounds like she has a bit of a oneupmanship complex, tbh.

Very telling that you say in the OP that she came to visit your OH and DS. You really don't get on, do you?

YANBU, no child wants their new toys swiftly moved to Granny's house, they want to play with them! The toys are not currently and Granny's house, they are in the place he calls home! She may expect it to be the same when you are not living there as her house but while you are living there, there is not even the slightest chance of a comparison being made!

Tell her to buy her own damn toys in.

Maybe she wanted to secretly have a go
