J2b, I think dil feels threatened, but have you read what she does.  This is far beyond a simple competition.  Some of the stuff she does is truly unbelievable.  Even putting her children at risk sometimes.  Sending grandson to school sick out of spite for me??  Is that something mother's usually do ??

Frankly, your dil sounds over the top.  If she really thought you couldn't be trusted with the kids then there's no way she would let you sit them.  She's speaking out of both sides of her mouth.

I'm sorry...but it sounds like you are in a horrible catch 22 situation.
