First and foremost, relax and take a deep breath. Always remember, EVERYONE will start giving advice and their 10 cents worth. Smile and thank them. Weigh their decisions and if it makes sense then why not give it a try?Ultimately, you and your missus makes the final decisions. We always want the best for our kids but even OUR OWN decisions may not be the correct 1. Every household will have the ‘blame game’ ( even in my house).
Our parents or in-laws must know their position. Have a chat with them and EXPLAIN that times are different and certain style has to be updated.( It will take them some time to understand) Be prepared to be the bad 1 for a few weeks. The elders will not be happy about you trying to explain to them but end of the day, You ARE the Father of the child. Be tactful when trying to explain to them too as the elderly are very sensitive when it comes to their grandchildren. Best time to do it is when everyone is having a meal together at a restaurant/Coffeeshop and NOT when you are upset.
All the best and good luck bro.
