[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all replies, so I might be repeating others. I too have a pushy mil. I simply do not engage her when she gets like this. Debating just isnt going to change her mind. It goes something like: Dh and I decide to do xyz. Mil: you should really do ABC. It's so much better because of reasons 1,2,3... Me: You have a point that ABC would work. But we are doing xyz. It's already decided, payed for, scheduled, etc. mil: but you really should do ABC. Me: You're probably right, but we're doing xyz. Mil doesn't know what to say, so she drops the subject. If it is something as important as my child's education, I would be even more firm. "I know how you feel about Karla's language school, but this is what we are doing. I'm really not up for discussing it anymore.". If she lectures her point more, I just let her talk until she tired of talking. I truly believe this has kept us from more severe conflicts.[/quote]
