[quote=Anonymous]Yes I'd take several steps backwards on sharing ideas etc for ways to entertain or enrich HER child. You are not wrong, but she doesn't want to hear it. It could be that she's drowning in advice and just doesn't need to hear what you think! She may not like the magnifying glass of you Being a Child Expert on her version of motherhood. So back off a bit. When you talk to her, talk about how wonderful and exceptional your nephew is and how much you love him. Don't mention THINGS FOR HER TO DO. Don't give her sentimental charm bracelets about motherhood. I can tell you really want to be sweet, which is awesome. But I would hate a gift like that and be really annoyed my SIL didn't realize I'd hate a gift like that. You sound like a wonderful, loving aunt. Just focus on that, not on your brother/SILs parenting. Love your nephew! Fin.[/quote]
