[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's also undermines constantly and inserts herself in child rearing situations. If I gently say "I've got this.", she starts crying hysterically that she can't do anything right. I know she won't change but I'm starting to feel like I need to set some boundaries[/quote]

"I'm asking you to stay out the way I handle Larla. If you can't accept that, then you need to leave."[/quote]

Way too aggressive.

Her tears are her problem.  Don't interact with her while she's crying.[/quote]

Yep.

"Larlune, I'm going to take little Larla and let you compose yourself. ... No, I cannot help you with this. We will be back in a bit. ... (if needed, gently) We aren't going to have this conversation. You can talk to (DH) if you need to. We'll be back in (a half hour, an hour, 15 minutes, whatever)."

No attention for the freakouts. Return and interact normally if possible. If not, rinse and repeat, and end it entirely for that day if necessary. At that point, it's DH's problem, not yours.[/quote]
