[quote=Anonymous]I think you're overreacting - I am sure she quite honestly just doesn't know. That doesn't make it right for her to do and it shouldn't happen again but it's an honest mistake by someone who finished child rearing in another culture quite a while ago. Invite her into the modern conversation subtly. If you come at her like she's tried to kill the baby she is going to get defensive and your relationship will suffer long term and can get between you and DH. Going into the relationship, you had to have realized that culture was going to be a hot topic at times and this is probably just the tip of many more things. Try to think of it from her point of view or what it would be like to be in her position in her home country - it's not easy and cultures have huge variations. Just recognizing that and coming at problems with that perspective really does help.[/quote]
