MIL came over on sunday to help with childcare, I'm heavily pregnant so she said why don't you go for a nap while I'm here.
I had a 2 hr nap upstairs and during that time she fell asleep on the sofa for 1.5 hrs. I know because we have security cameras round the house which i looked at later on after she'd gone.
My daughter slept for 30 mins on her, on the arm of the sofa and then the rest of the time she was left with the TV on.
I'm really annoyed because we have a wooden floor, a coffee table that she tries to climb on, she had hair ties which she often pulls out and tries to chew therefore a choking risk.
She's 20 months old.
Am I over reacting?
The worst thing is when I came downstairs after my nap, she 'she's not had much sleep only about 10 minutes'. But idk how she'd know that because my daughter woke up ages before she did.

Yeah thats not cool. Nice shes trying to help but, helping is supervising so you can rest. Im sure she didnt mean to fall asleep but she could have said.

You could have done that yourself.. well is she okay? Sick? Very old? Did it before?

I once had a friend stay over at my home and she liked to cook for herself. Even though she “cleaned up” afterward, I still ended up cleaning after her because her version of getting the job done didn’t meet the standard I’d set. 🤷♀️
I think, in general, some people are just more relaxed about these things. She may have assumed you didn’t want to pay for childcare and thought she was giving you a much-needed break. It could also be related to medication, if she was taking any.
Also, some retired folks just aren’t as detail-oriented anymore and are used to a slower pace of life.
