[quote=Anonymous]Sorry this happened to you! That is REALLY obnoxious. Ignore her completely. If she persists, "I understand that you are concerned. We are his parents, and we are making the decisions for our family. I'm not discussing this with you."

FWIW, yes, ALL PARENTS feel the need to weigh in, in some fashion, in my experience. MIL and Mom were very anti-/"questioning" breastfeeding, and weren't afraid to let me know it. My mother questioned the way I chose to handle my PPD with my medical team.

Thankfully, I now only have to hear the "praise" portion of feedback. "Your father and I are so proud of you and Steve for always calmy correcting Larla when she steps out of line."

My MIL does the same thing, in a competitive way: "You and Steve are so good about sticking to schedules. I wish [SIL] Melissa recognized the value of naps!"

Even the praise, I do not want. Because I do not care if they think I'm doing it right or not! But I'll take the praise compared to the criticism...

Hang in there.[/quote]
