unwanted advice from inlaws

So my in-laws love giving unwanted parenting advice.. More of the "this is what I would do".. We just put lo in his own room..which works for us since I wake up at 430  many mornings and dh snores so lo won't be woken up.. And I enjoy sleeping all night.. But anyway..the ils say that if it were them they would have to sleep in the name room as lo and say things to lo like "you need to just stay at our house".and this is by no means the first thing they have weighed their opinion on.. We had to give lo formula when my milk didn't come in and he had lost one pound-they were all upset over that..they um dress him when I take him over their and put him in dhs baby so thee..that smell like mothballs and are just.rude..they say lo doesn't eat over there but they mix meat with things like apples prune and raisins or banana with beef..which grosses me out so I tell them to mix chicken with veggies, yet every time I get lo from their house my mill proudly announces disgusting combos she tried to feed him..I think mainly BC she knows I don't like that it its not something I can really get upset about..but I'm running out of ways to handle them other than explode!

    Sounds like your DH needs to sit down with them and talk about boundaries and respect. You guys set the rules; they follow them. End of story.

    love this.  Hate awkward conversations, but I guess it's time.

    Unfortunately, everyone likes to provide opinions because they know best of course. My ILs kept telling us we hold C too much and we NEED to go out so she's comfortable with other people. I agree...somewhat, but she goes to DC everyday. Why do I want to leave her on the weekends when I'm away from her all day every weekday? It seems like your ILs are a little overboard, and maybe, like KatFCo suggested, have DH talk to them. The fact that they put LO in DHs clothes straight out of storage is a little scary.

    Totally this. If they don't like it, no more visits!
