So, since you asked, I will tell you how I see it, and hope you don't be offended! I do think its being a bit precious. Fair enough not to send you second cousins boyfriends aunts neighbour the photos, but this is your daughters grandmother.
Totally not offended! Thanks for keeping it real Leasha!

See my problem is that MIL IS likely to send them to DH's second cousins boyfriends aunts neighbour because she's known them for 30 years and MIL's had to wait a long time for a grandchild, don't you know?

(And MIL isn't evil, just your ordinary commom garden-variety MIL .....)
