[quote=Anonymous]Really, OP? Are you so inept that you cannot manage one old lady? Yes. MILs are old ladies who do not have any power over you. In reality, her opinions does not really matter in how you raise your child or run your household so there is no harm in listening, smiling politely and changing the subject. Redirect her attention. Make her talk about her day to day life. Ask her about the challenges she faced as a mom or a new wife. Trust me, once they start, they cannot stop. MILs need to be diplomatically managed. Get their opinion about everything. They will feel heard, your DH will think that you are nice to his mom, and then...they leave after their visit. [/quote]
