just curious. Does your in-laws ever dictate you on how to raise your child? I have a friend who I rarely see. However, she tells me all her problems with her in-laws.
They're always treating her like she doesn't know anything, and I feel that's just not right. anybody here experiencing the same?

well of course somehow in-laws play a big role on how to brought up your child but it doesn't mean that they will interfere to whatever decision you do for the good. they are the ones who will advice you what to do, and later on support you to whatever decision you made. in-laws play such a big part by supporting and bringing up the best to your child and not the ones who contradicts you.

I think issues or problems with in-laws are normal. I've had experiences when they dictate you on how to raise your child and it would really hurt me and made me feel irresponsible but on the contrary I learned to take it positively. That way we got along well.

they interfere with bringing up your child and no matter how harsh it is, you know by heart they do it with good intentions even if it makes it hard for you to think it is. the best thing to do to avoid conflicts is to give them the chance to relate their side and to relate yours as well and just be open to opinions they have.

Good thing my in-laws aren't like that. We have game nights with them. Most of my family moved away so it works for all of us.

I am sorry that your are experiencing this. Whatever happened between your friend and her inlaws has nothing to do with her child. So, I would just to let your friend keep her cool and extend her patience.

Definitely! I had a very similar experience. Just so, I could avoid family feud, I just have to hold it in and sometime vent my anger on my husband, which I know is not fair. Anyway, I'm trying to understand everything they are doing is for my littleone... They love him to pieces.

Not all inlaws are like that. Just keep in mind that they are always concerned for the baby. It's always about the grandchild. Just tell her to extend her patience and just go with the flow, that way she can avoid having conflicts with the inlaws.

I feel ya! my husband and I have been living with my parents for 2 years in August. I am miserable and cannot imagine how he must feel. I am in school so we don't have much of a choice...
