[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I had similar issues. My parents wanted to learn everything. They took a grandparents class at the hospital to get the updates on everything from swaddling, sleeping on backs, pacis etc! MIL just critized and didn't want to learn anything. I was too overwhelmed to fight that battle but dh stood up for us when she made comments (didn't ignore) and had private conversations. It took some time but dh told her if she wants to watch the baby she has to learn the way WE do things and evertually she got on board. We started slow with her babysitting 20 minutes for us to get ice cream and now she's done 2 hours by herself. In a month she is watching ds and putting him to bed while we attend a wedding. She's not going to do things exactly as I would bUT she's gotten better. Good luck op. Get dh on board so you don't sound like the bitchy DIL[/quote]
