"Anyways today has the more pressing issue that MIL is up to stay and so I need to make things as unawkward as I can. Which in truth I guess means carrying on like nothing has happened and resisting the urge to tell MIL about OM1. Friendly house mate"

Jim!

Conversation W "MIL is coming. She is astute and will know or if she doesn't I am not prepared for an untruth to MIL. I respect MIL too much for that. Either you disclose to her the position or I will. Would you prefer us to do so together? Let me know before MIL arrives/ has tea......

Then STFU and walk away

I can't think of anything worse for your R with MIL than non disclosure. If I remember W is leaving kids with MIL when she has a play date.

Same conversation I had with H about his family, I did not lie or deceive mine.
