[quote=Anonymous]The best advice I got about dealing with my smothering MIL is to nip it in the bud. If you let her be crazy and keep on crossing boundaries, you'll only get more defensive and angry, and then pretty soon you won't be able to stand having her around at all (even when she's being normal). It can be so hard to set boundaries, but it's actually not kind to her not to do it, because she'll end up alienating herself from you. The most important thing to do right now is to stop discussing reproduction with her. She shouldn't even know that you are TTC. Every time she asks you a question about it, deflect it. Tell her outright that you don't really want to talk about it, and that you'll let her know when you have news. [/quote]
