I give it at least 1 in 3 odds that the DIL has been mentally composing a letter to an advice column that goes, "Dear Abby-or-equivalent: When my MIL drops my kids off, she hides our possessions in random places where we can't find them and sometimes uses cleaning products that make me sneeze on surfaces that I did not ask her to clean and certainly not with those products. We appreciate the time she spends with the kids, but how can I get her to stop 'helping' with our house?"
