Your husband is an adult. The time for "teachable moments" has past. What he would probably benefit from most at this point is to be treated like an adult. Held accountable for his actions as an adult, and given the respect that all adults deserve.
Also it sounds kind of like you just want her to say what you want her to say. To tow the JB line. I mean, what does being a "nurturing mother" have to do with explaining his work schedule to him?
Other than that I feel ya. Yeah, MIL's can be a pain. It's pretty much in the job description.
And this is true. My AH needs to be able to make these decisions and think clearly for himself rather than me relying on his mother to guide him through it.
