[quote=Anonymous]OP, for things like this what can help is enlisting your MIL's help in doing things your way. Can you make a specific request, get her to do something specific and make her feel like you are enlisting her on 'your team' and truly need her help. Example, "Larla-in-law, I really need your help making these bottles, I know I can trust you to do it just the way the babies like it, that would be such a help if the two of us can do it together.' "Gramma Clause, can you do me a favor -- can you rock baby Bubba like this for me, your grandson is picky and i know it would work great if Gramma would do it" I often find that people's resistance and defensiveness decreases when they feel they are 'wanted' and part of a team. Maybe this strategy will help.[/quote]
