[quote=Anonymous]I have Indian in-laws and my MIL does this as well. I really, genuinely try to find what topics she has useful advice I can implement, I do that, and report back to her how well it's worked out and I thank her. I ignore the rest. Yes, it's somewhat cultural but I don't think any reaonsable person expects 100% compliance with their suggestions/instructions. So aim to comply with what you think is actually good advice, talk that up, and take a pass on the rest. You can just acknowledge the suggestion "hm, interesting idea" or if they really pester you as to why you haven't started such & such literacy program with your preschooler, say "actually, we've decided DH is in charge of that topic. I'll let him know you're interested" when you need the subject dropped. [/quote]
