No, it's not petty! Again ... how would she feel if you came and rummaged through your daughter's bedroom in her house, looking for something unimportant such as a necklace? Would you call her petty if she complained? And then, on top of that, sat there with MIL playing with the kids, completing projects she had wanted to do with them? Who knows if she kept her search only in that bedroom and didn't look around yours, wondering if she will see evidence of another woman?

I hate to say this, but you sound a little afraid of her reaction. Perhaps you should leave it be, but don't allow her to make you feel you can't set your boundaries and stand by them.

You are doing so awesome with GAL, distancing yourself emotionally, etc. so if it will affect that in any way, then don't bring it up unless it becomes a habit.
