I have a good relationship with my MIL and I make an effort to take my DD to see her regularly. My DD is 6 months. At the moment my FIL and MIL are having marital problems however they refuse to discuss this issue, which is fine of course. My main concern is that my MIL does not seem to want my FIL to have a relationship with my DD. When I take my DD to visit she regularly shouts at my FIL when he is holding my DD and snatches her away from him. When I am going to visit she tries to arrange something that does not involve him and she regularly disappears off to her friends house with my DD. She doesn't do it when my husband is there. I love them both and I want them both to have a good relationship with my DD, however arranging seperate visits would be far to time consuming. I now try and give my daughter to him at every opportunity so it probably looks like I favour him.... AIBU to want to address this issue and get it out on the open?

If I was you, I would only go round to see them if your husband is with you. That way they both get to see her the same amount of time, and if your MIL starts anything odd, your DH will see it. Aren't in-laws a PITA!
