The situation is that my husband does NOT like his mother, does not want her to be part of our lives and the life of our little boy. Now that he is gone on a military commitment for two months I know that his father will call and ask to come up to see Liam (my son) and he will also ask permission to bring my mother-in-law with him. I feel horrible at the thought of saying no but I feel I must stand by my husbands wishes (whether or not I agree with them) Now you must understand my mother-in-law is crazy, selfish and I believe not a all round good person. She has put me and my mothering skills down in one breath and try using that we are both Catholics and what good people we must be in the next. I guess what I"m asking is do I do what I fell is right and allow her to see Liam (because I strongly believe in family, crazy or not) or do I stand by my husbands wishes.
Any thoughts from anyone
 
I have no idea how to advise you on this difficult question, but I have a small practical suggestion for getting good answers. Send a PM to the moderators asking to have this post moved to the Family Life forum. Those people give excellent advice!
 
I say you should stick to your guns and do not allow your husbands mother to visit. What you’ve said about her putting down your parenting ability is enough in my mind, you need to protect what’s yours!

I don’t think your mother-in-law deserves to see you or your son unless she can straighten up and act in a mature manner. I think if you take control it will be good for you as well as your son.

God bless.
 
Thanks I just reposted it there, because to be honest I’m a little stupid when it comes to computers and don’t know how to PM the moderators, and hey maybe I’ll get twice the help:)
