        　　DEAR ABBY:
        　　How do I politely tell my mother-in-law to stop doing my laundry? It all
started when I was on bed rest due to my pregnancy. I didn't mind her doing an
occasional load to help us out. But now she does it anytime she's over to watch
the kids.
        　　I'm very picky about how I do my laundry, and this is the main reason I
don't want her doing it. Also, I'd prefer she spend time playing with the kids
than with the laundry!
        　　She also puts things away in the wrong places. She does it with my dishes,
too. Once I told her not to worry about my laundry because I wasn't done sorting
it. She took it upon herself to do it anyway.
        　　She's very strong-willed. My husband and I have had problems with her not
respecting our parenting, too.She often takes things the wrong way. What's the
best way for us to tell her that her help is not needed?
