How do you put your foot down on suspected competition between families?

Everything seems to be a competition between my mother in law and her three daugthers (no father) and my husband, me and my daughter. Examples:

1. My mother in law “coincidentally” tried losing weight a week after I gave birth. She knew I had a talk with my husband about my weight.

2. She comes to my house, looks around, goes home and buys things for her house that are similiar. She never had an area rug and never cared about furniture, etc. Now she kept our entertainment center that we had stored there because she liked it so much, and bought an area rug, coffee table, lamps, etc.

3. She calls to “update” our family on her job status and her salary.

4.In a convo. with other family, they asked my hubby and me if we were having more babies. I said I wasn’t sure. My MIL interrupted and said, “i don’t think so, one is enough.” She has 4 kids, and I feel like she’s competing over who’s the better parent.

I don’t even know if she’s aware of how competitive she is.
It even goes as far as vacations- who takes a better one- who brings back the most gifts and $$ spent… etc.

It gets on my nerves but I don’t know how to be proper and address it without feeding into it.
