[quote=Anonymous]I didn't use those words but gave my MIL the same message. She raised DH with her MIL living on the same block, constantly at her house, in her business, telling her how to do things. I told her very gently one time, "I know from what Jay's told me that his grandma was the matriarch of the family and you didn't always get to parent the way you wanted. That must have been very frustrating for you. So I'm sure you know exactly how I felt this morning when after I'd told Casey to sit, you told her it was fine to stand in the booth while eating. Even though it was an awful way you were forced to parent, please don't re-create that for me. I don't want to resent you and cringe like you did around your MIL. I want us to have a great relationship. But a big part of that means you taking a step back and letting me be the one in charge. Will you think about it?" [/quote]
