Hi my parents in law have been of great help in helping me to take care of my kids as I am a working mum. But my mother in law likes to make noise about how I run the household and also scold my helper when she doesn't do things her way. I don't want my helper to get pissed off at her and am also afraid that she will not want to work for us. Any tips? Should I get my helper to listen to her and do things her way or do things my way?

I would suggest to allow your husband to do the talking. You wouldnt want her to feel upset even further. Old ppl they tend to be more vulnerable and sensitive and they might take it the wrong way esp if the daughter in law is the one who is voicing it out. Bt if your MIL is more understanding and open to criticsm and advice i dont see no harm for you to highlight some points. Cheers!
