[quote=Anonymous]"Sorry, could you hold that thought for a minute?" then pick up your tantruming kid and go into another room and close the door so SIL can't follow you in to "help". When tantrum's over, rejoin the group and start with a fresh topic. "Hmm" with head nod & sip of water in response to how raising children is supposed to work. With the over stimulation comments, you could have replied - "You know, you're right. There's way too much noise here. I'm feeling a bit overstimulated myself. I'm gonna take five." and then take a break to play with your kid somewhere out of earshot from your SIL. If she's rude enough for others to notice & comment, I don't think much is to be gained from "calling her out" - just engage with her positively on the subjects you can and for the rest, be polite when you can, but exit when it gets to be too much.[/quote]
