Father-in-law thinks he can rule my house......

My father-in-law thinks that he has the say so on what needs to be done in my home. Yesterday, I told my son to stop making so much noise. And he told him, yes to stop, and then he goes, well yes, stop because the baby is asleep, and then again, no she is awake. Having said this, he figured it was okay for my son to continue to make noise. I did not appreciate this because I still don't want to hear a lot of noise even if she is awake or asleep. There is no difference here. Then another time, when I was in another room in the house, I over heard my father-in-law tell my son to turn the ceiling fan off, I am assuming he was cold. So my son turned it off. I did not make any comment about this. Because I did not want to start any trouble. Well I felt that if my father-in-law was cold he should have asked me or my husband if it was okay to turn the ceiling fan off, instead of getting my son to do it. Again, I did not appreciate this either. Then once, me and my husband both, thought that our daughter had moved the playpen, but it comes to find out that my son did, my father-in-law jumped in and said that our son moved it. I am tired of this, going on, because this is my house. My father-in-law does not stay with us, so he does not know how things go. He only knows what takes place when he is only there. I know my kids more than he does. He can only go by what he sees when he is there to visit. To be honest with you, my daughter does move the playpen around. She has a habit of doing this. That time, my son, was the one whom did it. I am not trying to be petty, but I want him to respect what I say, and not go over my words. I have the right to tell my kids not to do something when I know it is for their own good. The reason why I tell my kids not to make a lot of noise is because when there is so much noise, my head tends to start hurting. My father-in-law should just come into my house and keep quiet, because I am not saying or doing anything to harm my kids, I am just being a mom. With him doing this, there is no way he will be able to stay with us. He is staying with his daughter now, he will have to move out of her apartment really soon. I just know that him and his wife staying with us would not be a very good idea. I am sorry to have to say this, but it is true. I have had problems with his wife in the past, for five years, living with them. So if they come and stay with us, it will be problems, I just know it will be.
