[quote=Anonymous]This problem has very little to do with drinking and a lot to do with what your in-laws talk about in front of your kids, who are old enough to understand. You'd have the same problem if they were commenting on your body, your food choices, or how you discipline your kids. Or if their interpersonal dynamic was one you didn't want your kids around (this is my problem). Or if they couldn't stop talking about things in the news that weren't age appropriate for your kids (this is my spouse's problem). The solution is, yes, for your husband to have a direct conversation with them and tell them to stop. But be aware that these dynamics can be really tricky to interrupt (and can lead to hurt feelings and petty pouting). I've found that limiting time with our parents and mostly seeing them on our turf has been the most successful remedy.[/quote]
