To think that MIL crossed a line today and to have told her so.

It's DD's birthday today. MIL rang this morning to say that she would bring her present up today. I asked if she would mind leaving it until later in the week as a) DD is actually away on a residential and not here til Friday and b) I'm not well, feeling shit and wanted to go to back to bed.

She said she wanted to bring it today - I said, again, please can we leave it today. MIL says OK but I can tell not massively happy. She does like things her own way.

I go back to bed and fall asleep , I wake up to 7 missed calls from DH and call him straight back. He's walking out of work to come home as he's worried about me. I'm a bit confused and ask him why he's coming home and he tells he that his mum phoned him to say that she was outside our house and worried about me as she can't get a reply from the doorbell even though 'Ben is expecting me'. DH is worried that something has happened and gives her the code to the key safe so she can come in and check on me.

She then texts him a 'False alarm!' with a smiley face.

I go downstairs to find DDs birthday present sitting neatly on the kitchen table.

Who the fuck does that?

I agree that she might have a key cut.i’d think about changing the locks as she seems like she has no boundaries at all.

I don't think she'd have had time to get a key cut tbh. We live out in the sticks and it would be at least an hours round trip to get a key cut.

@BenWillbondsPants sending you love and strength x Much easier to cut idiots out of your life. Saves time and energy. I appreciate that you want your children to see their gran and know her but it shouldn't be at the cost of your and your husband's sanity. x
