[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell them that you are happy with your decision in schools and it's not open for discussion.  Then change the subject.[/quote]

Agree, BUT:

OP, your HUSBAND addresses this with them. Not you. Him.

His boundary-busting parents are his problem to handle (as your own parents are if they do things that are intrusive)

I'm amazed that the responses so far treat this as if you are the person to nip this, to say X or Y to the in-laws. No. Many in-laws are going to dismiss what the daugher-in-law or son-in-law says, but will back away if their own adult child steps up and says, this topic is closed for good. If your husband is reluctant to do this--as the saying goes: Then you have a husband problem, not just an in-law problem.

He needs to start ending all conversations as soon as they utter a word of criticism about school, BTW. "Remember how I said that the topic of school choice is closed? If you'd like to talk about what the kids are up to, and what they're enjoying about class, that's great, but if you choose to ask again about school choice we'll need to say goodbye now and talk another day." Every. Single. Time. [/quote]
