So my mom passed away 9 years ago and my dad remarried a woman that both me and my sisters can't stand. Every time I talk to him he tries to lecture me on how to take care of my son. For example, he had avocados for the first time yesterday and he told me today that I needed to feed him bland food so he doesn't get allergies, I know that a lot of this is coming from his wife that is nosey and in our business and tries to tell me what to do. How would you handle this situation or is anyone else dealing with something similar? I'm sick of biting my tongue and feel like I'm going to say something soon.

MIL will do this too. She will say things to DH and he will bring it up to me and it is always things I have heard her say in the past, so I know that it is coming from her. I just bring up my internet research or say we will ask the pedi about it (who will alomsot always agree with my answer). I guess you could also always say something like "Yeah, thats what they used to think, but times have changed and this is recommended now".
I agree with PP....whats more bland than avacado?
I was thinking this, too. Also, if your father is the one saying these things, I would talk to him and just let him know you are doing what you feel is right for your child. I know it would be harder to say something to your stepmom because of your feelings toward her, but maybe talking to your dad without her there would be easier? Just a thought. Good luck!

As my husband says (when we are talking), "if it sounds like we are telling you to f-off, we are"
"Thanks, but I already talked to my pediatrician about _____."
