Wow, a lot of fighting going on. How does your fiance feel about all of this?

First of all, grandparents have NO legal rights when it comes to grandchildren. You have all the rights as far as your child is concerned and have every right to say when and if they can see your child.

I had a problem with my ex-MIL who refused to do anything I wanted done with my daughter, from refusing to potty train her, to letting her watch TV all day, to refusing to wean her off the bottle. I eventually had to put my daughter in day care because she refused to listen to me.

Fortunately, it didn't get as bad as a physical fight, but this is not a healthy environment for you or your child. I hope that you and your finance's family are able to work things out, but in the meantime you need to set some boundaries.

Yes, it looks like they are trying to do something fishy, but if all they have is that your mom keeps the baby indoors for the most part, that's nothing.

They sound pretty fanatical about the child, driving FOUR hours just to babysit sounds extreme! I would limit their visitation. I would tell your future in-laws they are no longer needed to watch the baby and find someone else to watch the child who will respect your authority as the child's parent.

I hope you and fiance are on the same page about this. If he doesn't support you or appreciate your concerns, re-evaluate if you want to get married to him. My STBX refused to back me up when me and his mother disagreed over my daughter and it caused serious problems in the marriage.
Good luck!
