We have helped our daughter and husband both physically and financially, even though the husband earns over a six figure sum. What with the school holidays coming up I had offered to help 2 out of my daughter's 3 day week. Also, school pick ups to our house, which I had been doing for the last year. Within a message she said that she longer require our help and has arranged alternative child care. I know that my daughter is doing this as a form of revenge as she knows that we are not happy with their lack of respect, moreso her husband. I 've made no comment but am deeply hurt. My daughter is difficult to talk to. Losing her yemper and crying. Should i say something or remain silent?

The modern way is to see what parents want, say or do as ok. Quite often it isn't as in this case. Your D. likes drama. Don't give her any. Go and have a lovely holiday and spend some money on yourself. Be polite and visit when asked around. I know it hurts but it's a planned ambush. Any attempt to say your piece will turn you into a stereotype, the interfering mother/ MIL can be trotted out very unjustly sometimes.
