[quote=Anonymous]Lots of times, people that age feel like a useless bump on a log. People don't really let them help (make meals, do dishes, etc) So they help instead by 'sharing advice' based on their decades of life experience. It is their way of feeling they are contributing something to the family / household. They are helping you raise the kids. Without a filter, it comes across as criticism. No need to get your knickers in a knot, just take something from what they say and turn it into a question. Ask her for recipes or ask her about how she raised her kids or ask her about her childhood or ask her to teach you something she knows (knitting etc). Make her feel useful and it will likely decrease the 'advice'.[/quote]
