Advice
My bf’s mother keeps giving advice I didn’t ask for..
My bf’s mother takes care of her daughters kids and complains that they don’t take care of their kids right then tries to give advice to my bf not knowing I’m listening.. I’m not a FTM and took care of my first alone but I’ve never liked getting advice unless I ask for it which usually I don’t ask and do research on my own or talk to their ped. What would you say to her? I want to be nice but she needs to realize I’m not like her daughters and I know what I’m doing.

I completely understand the frustration!! When my bfs mother gives me advice, I often just nod my head and move on LOL. However if it gets to a point where she’s pushing something or making me feel incompetent, I simply say “me and [my bf] are her parents and we will raise her in a way that we see fit, we appreciate you for being a good grandmother but want to remind you that your role is to love and have fun with our daughter- NOT raise her”
