The next time my MIL wants to stay with us for even one night, the answer should always be NO.
While I was in the shower, she asked D if I needed help, because it seemed I was "falling behind" (in regards to housework). In the half hour that she was able to, she cleaned the play kitchen, put my sugar in a ziploc bag, put a remaining bit of flour in an empty canister and cleaned off a portion of my counter. She also mentioned wanting to buy me a shower caddy, because there's so many shampoo bottles and stuff on my tub.
Now, it's not that I don't appreciate the help, but I found it rather insulting, particularly the way she talked to D behind my back. I think the next time I go to her house, I'll put her stuff in places that *i* find more appropriate without telling or asking her.
Where does she get off thinking she can come physically into our lives and home once every 6 months to a year and just take over? Grrr.
Yikes! Three times the fun?

I typically find my kitchen a little cleaner than I left it when my mom babysits. Now it compells me to clean a little extra just so I don't feel inadequate when i get home. I feel your pain.
