[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to send you some hugs OP. I'm in a similar situation as you. Indian inlaws, first born 'golden' son is my husband and my MIL is CONSTANTLY offering unsolicited advice and not respecting my decisions to do what's in the best interest of the kids. I realized I can't change them and try to just ignore it and deflect it to my husband to deal with. But boy is it annoying!![/quote] I am Indian and DH is Indian. My parents don't meddle or criticize but DH's do. While some of it is definitely cultural, I think I have a leg up because I can tell when people are just being meddlesome jerks. Also, you can choose to not engage in annoying behavior, even if it is cultural. I sometimes just pretend my ILs aren't even there and that works pretty well. :) [/quote]
