[quote=Anonymous]There is a 3-step way to handle it: 1. Acknowledge what he said. "That's an interesting idea." 2. Express appreciation. "Thanks for pointing that out." 3. State why you are going to do exactly what you want to do. "We are going to hold off on any new improvement projects because we need to save money and don't have the time to focus on it." He will feel heard, appreciated, and you politely let him know that you cannot take this on right now. I dealt with a lot of unsolicited advice and could write a book about it. I had a great relationship with a challenging in-law, and it was very rewarding in the end.[/quote]
