[quote=Anonymous]This is a difficult MIL problem, not a BFing problem. Go way low contact with her. Your husband can talk to his mom. Just stop answering feeding questions. It's not her boobs, not her baby, not her problem. When she comes for the visit, make sure you step out for the majority of it for a hair appt. Whatever you do DO NOT HOST HER FOR THE NIGHT NO NO NO NO. A few hours ***AT THE MOST***. Preferably, no meal. If you do have a meal, it is Chinese take out or pizza. When she says, "I'm surprised you didn't cook" say "I'm sorry, I don't have the bandwidth right now." Have your DH read this comment if you can't tell him no. When it is 8 and if she is still there, tell her you are going to sleep and just walk away to your room! When she gives you the, "When I was a mom in 1979 blablabla" comment say nothing at all or "Oh, that is interesting" or "Oh I will give that a try" some other super noncommittal comment. Don't bother arguing with her or trying to correct her behavior, there is no point [/quote]
