My mother in law had issues with my intimacy with my father in law... The intimacy was the same I have with my dad.. Today my 4 year old daughter runs to her grandpa and plays with him...she has issues with that too. What could be her reason of such insecurity with me and my daughter? She has rebuked us on the matter a lot many times and my father in law is a lamb...while she's around and otherwise too.. Answers pls...

I think your MIL is from the old school of thought were daughter in law has to maintain distance from the men of the house, and same for the daughters of the house too. if she is so uncomfortable with your relationship with your FIL and if your FIL has not clarified it out himself, and not even your hubby, I don't think it's worth it. Also, it is not just you but she has a problem with the granddaughter getting close to the grandfather as well. I guess back off for some time. If your FIL does not take a stand, you should avoid getting into something like this.
