[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is like this. She's easily intimidated by me, because according to her, she doesn't remember what it's like to have a baby. When my son came along, she wanted to give him tea (he was 4 days old) despite our pediatrician saying ONLY formula or breastmilk! I looked HORRIFIED at the suggestion, and after that she kept all her advice to herself. I wouldn't have minded it if she had given me other advice, but she is a little wacky (very, very nice) and like I said, doesn't have much self-esteem. I think your MIL just feels scared she's going to say or do something dumb in front of you. The way I dealt with my MIL is by pointing out how much my son loves her, and how much I love her too. I think that helped a lot.[/quote]
