mother in laws
What do you do when you are afraid that your mother in law is going to try to tell you how you should raise your kids? Like, I need to do things this way or that way, and they need to go to her church that my husband grew up in that I totally don't agree with everything.

I'll tell you what, you better sit down with that woman, and tell her what up, ok...she raised her family , let "you" raise yours... I know you dont want to hurt anyones feelings, be as diplomatic as possible, you and your husband should sit down and talk first, you need to set some "boundries".....Opinions are great, but "YOU" and your "HUSBAND" are still the parents,right,and you have the final word. Good Luck

You remember the fact that, that child is comming out of you, and you have the right to raise it with the views and morals that you and the father of your child agree upon. Me and my future mother-in-law have COMPLETELY different views. I was raised different than my bf. But in the end its up to me how i will raise my kids. She had a chance to raise her own. If she wants to raise another kid no one stopping her. She has the freedom to have another one. But your child is your responsibility. Not hers.

Explain to her that although you value her advice, you have your own methods you wish to use. Maybe you could explain to your husband, he could ask her politely to "back off". In the end, your children are your children, not hers xx
