DEAR AMY: I am a husband and father of an 18-month-old daughter.She calls my wife multiple times a day to FaceTime with her granddaughter.The problem I have is that my mother-in-law keeps saying things to our toddler like: “Don’t worry -- whenever grandma is talking to you, you don’t have to listen to your mom.”
She is sleeping on our couch for three days, and I don’t think I want to hold my tongue if she tries to say the same things when she is in our home. She may say, “Oh, I’m only joking, don’t take this so seriously.” And you can respond, “I get it, but we’re trying to be consistent, and her sense of humor isn’t quite developed yet.”They live together and plan to marry in July. This will be the second marriage for both. They’re in their 50s, and both have grown children.
You can probably see where this story is going. My sister’s blissful pre-honeymoon phase is being interrupted by this third person’s constant presence. It frustrates my sister that her fiance has not set down any ground rules. My sister works from home and feels she has lost her peaceful “space” due to his daughter’s lax lifestyle.
