Mummies how do u react if ur mil/fil kept saying this/that is no good for baby & they just happily went ahead with what they think is right w/o listening to us even though LO is unhappy and crying becos of their actions? Whenever they does this, i felt so much anger inside that sometimes i just wanna tell them 'this is my baby and i do wat i want & u dont need to interfere' but come to think of that im staying in their house for long & i have no choice but to tahan..

This calls for a bit of diplomacy. Tell your mil, okay let's try it your way- and do show her you'll try it (because there's a chance it might work!) - and if it doesn't, then tell mil, well we gave it a try but now let's try it my way. And prove to her that your way works so she'll understand why you insist on doing it that way. With mothers in law, like with bosses, you just have to respect their position of authority and listen to them, take their advice, but show them also that you also have things to offer. It's about showing respect, being open to suggestions and advice, and remembering that both you and your mil have a common goal: to do what's best for your child.

It really depends on what issue is that. Does it harm them or hurt them in a way? If it doesn't, rather then them doing the way they wanted. You try their method so you can tell him. It is not workable for LO

You have said that you are living with them. As long as you are living under their roof, you may have to oblige and listen.

I know how it is. Living with them and sometimes we have no choice but to suck it up and listen to them.

Truth- i ignore. my child my way. It gets too overwhelming. I'm just too straightforward.
