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...

Does your partner notice the same as you do? Has your mil told you this or you are assuming? May be her insecurity stems from the fact that you will take the position that she always held in the house. Instead of letting your husband do the talking (your mil would know you told him anyways), why not talk to her with your husband and father in law around in a non-confrontational way? It will get awkward but will definitely clear some issues between you and her. Good luck!!
