[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Wow. Can you try and be happy or supportive for the decision that has been made?" [/quote] This is the approach I would take. Trying to explain or convince only makes one look like they must defend themselves. Instead, turn it around and put a spotlight on exactly what their meddling is: rude. Meet rude with rude. "Why are you trying to hurt (name of child) in this way?"[/quote] yes, do NOT try to explain. It only invites further conversation. You do not need to justify the decision. If they persist then go there "The decision has been made, we support it fully, no one has asked for your input. I am not having this conversation with you again." If they bring it up again, "I already told you, we are not going to have this conversation," then change topic. If that doesn't work, "let's talk later when you are able to move onto another topic."
