Hi all,
I have a newborn and had to leave him for an hour today to go to a meeting to set up his bank account. He has a cold at the moment, so asked my MIL if she could watch him.
When I got home, she had done the outstanding laundry, hoovered the floors and cleaned the inside of the windows. I'm quite house proud and spend around two hours a day cleaning when my baby sleeps.
I know she is just trying to be helpful, but I feel doing these things crosses a certain boundary. She also hoovered in our bedroom and I'm really comfortable with her being in there.
She is a very nice woman, who is great with our son, but I need to very politely ask her to stop but I don't know how. She is VERY sensitive.
Before you ask, my DH is a fence sitter and won't do it as doesn't want to cause upset 🙄🙄🙄 I have said it wont if we do it in the right way.
Any advise welcome.
