what should I do about my family
Ok I just had surgery wednesday the 22nd of march, well my grandmother came to my town to "take care of me." When I got out of the hosiptal my husband was upset because my grandmother had been telling him what he needed to do with my little girl, basically telling him how he needed to raise her. Well in order to keep peace with my family he let me know how he felt about her getting into our business and telling him how to raise our daughter. Do you think that you could give me advice on how to let her know NICELY to back off and that he can raise her the way he wants too?

Your grandma may not feel appreciated enough, and think she has to do much more...like passing on parenting advice. It will help that your husband shows his gratitude. (she wants to be more than just a house guest)
Even though it may be annoying, most grandmas are not going to change. So it will help to change your response. Just kindly nod and acknowledge her advice, but then turn around and do things your own way. In addition, you can help by praising the great job your husband does in front of both her and him. Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery.

You can try to tell her that you appreciate her coming to visit and trying to help, but you also trust your husband to take care of your daughter while you're away. However, if she is intent on sticking to her being right, she may be offended to matter how nice or considerate you are. In which case, you'll pretty much have to make it clear her position in the house is a guest. It may be stressful and frustrating, but the more you stick to your words, the better she'll understand you mean it.
