[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is one also - it was part of what I liked about him - that he's respectful and really loves his mom - but after having a kid the dynamic became awful. Particularly since she's a 'baby expert' who has antiquated beliefs and she inserted herself into our 1 bedroom apartment at that time. Hang in there! I was totally post-partum and handled it poorly, and he was a total wimp and left me out to dry (emotionally) a few times. Hold firm on the things you care about, take anything good and helpful from her/his advice and bring in other experts and ignore/disregard your husband/mil when needed. Hopefully they'll start to get it eventually. My MIL is now closer with her other grandchildren than my kids - which is her loss. Thankfully my kids don't seem to have picked up on that.[/quote]

OP here. Yes it was part of what I liked about my DH too. I think as he has gotten older and as she has gotten older her influence has grown.  We are not talking about practical things here, like how to sleep train, but often [b]very different viewpoints on life.[/b] She has also gotten increasingly religious, and I am not, which does not help. Sounds like I am going to have to stand firm continuously and not engage.[/quote]
What do you mean?[/quote]

For example, she thinks her very bright niece should not apply to a highly selective private school because women need an easy, ideally part-time job, so they can raise kids. Apparently we should do the same although my DD is a toddler.[/quote]
