Would this annoy you?

My mil rang me to say she'd pop in to drop stuff over.
The baby was napping in my room and she goes il just go see her. I said no she's just gone down and mil goes Il be quiet and proceeds upstairs into my room.
Now bearing in mind my other kids have been sick all week and my husband has been away and when she said she'd pop over I literally dumped a load of stuff into my room to make the rest of the house look semi respectable as I've just fallen so behind and can't do anything.
I know I'm probably embarrassed about my room been so untidy but I'm also annoyed that she would just walk into my room like that. She also saw the baby 3 days ago so it wasn't like it's been ages since she'd seen her. AIBU

Yanbu, I would hate that, nobody goes in my bedroom

How old is the baby? Not that it really matters but if she’s newborn it would be different to her being 2.

Baby is 10 months.

This would really annoy me too. We’re a messy family and my MIL is the worst for wanting to see something in the kids rooms etc when they’re a tip.

If I said no then somebody still decided it was ok to go into my bedroom they wouldn't be coming into my house again.

That isn’t on then. Tell her no OP.

I’d hate that

Aside from the mess, she risked waking a sleeping baby. My 10 month old would definitely wake if someone went into the room. Plus invasion of privacy, very rude

@Examssuck my bedroom was the place I least expected her to go to as when she's here visiting I lock my door as she used to regularly go in there even after DH told her I don't like anyone going into my room. It doesn't bother him but he respects my feelings on it. Plus mil also has form for telling me how she went over to sils house and how dirty x was or how clean so and sos house is.
The last time she was here I popped out and had the place spotless and she told DH how she had to clean my dishwasher as it was dirty.

It was probably inevitable she'd want to see the baby but no means no....MILs have no boundaries do they?!

Well she shouldn't have gone in when you said no, but would you be the same about your own mum going into your bedroom?

She is family and she probably really only wanted to glance at her grandchild, I doubt she cares about whether your house is messy.

I can understand this, my mil has form for telling me how dirty other peoples houses are, so I can only think she might do it about me.

However, I have learnt to not care what she thinks. If people want to come into my house then they'll have to take me as they find me, I'm polite and offer them a drink, but I don't put on any airs and graces.

It's quite liberating when you learn not to give a shit.

Yes that would massively annoy me. But if she was just dropping stuff off there was no need to come in at all.
