Lawn

We had an instance from a door to door lawnmower who wanted to do the lawn for a fee. We just had our first child and the both of us have not had a chance to upkeep the lawn nor remove fencing piled up at the back. My wife wanted to do this 2 weeks ago and although I wanted to hire someone to do this she went ahead and did this. I rejected the door to door person and said we will handle it or I will hire someone when I have time. The mil lashed out at me saying why her daughter had to do this 2 weeks ago while having to do other baby related things. I responded saying we will handle this - though in my mind I was wondering if this was any of her business. Wife stepped in saying she wanted to do this,I didn’t “ make” her do this. When I stepped out, the mil started ringing waste removal places to get rid of the fencing but nothing was finalised. Makes me think - since when does a third person have a say in the household purchased by n n my wife. Though I’m partly to blame for not tending to this issue over the last 6 mths. I wonder if what I did was right or should I have told her to stay out of this.
