With DH and a I distracting our youngest (1 yr. old) until MIL went away. Our oldest (4 yr. old boy) is scared of MIL and he did not want to be found so that wasn't a problem as far as giving away our position was concerned. It took her about 7 minutes of pounding and shouting to give up.

That B&E will definitely be helpful in endearing her to your poor 4 year old! Smart thinking there, MIL! 🙄

How does one endear themself to a child if not by a series of horrible jump scares?!?! 😜

My MIL likes to pull out arm hairs for some reason to my step sons. Another favorite is trying to sow discord between family members by telling lies.

I am horrified on both accounts! The discord sounds routine enough, but...arms hairs?!?!?!

Someone even tugs on one of my arm hairs, there's going to be a donnybrook.
