I dont have in laws, nobody from my hubby side but my mother is same as u mentioned above. I make it a point to speak my mind when it comes to my child. They will get offended but my child's well being is my priority. You want to see my baby but you expect me to come over everytime? No. I will come as and when I am free and we have nothing on schedule. Initially they will get angry but after a while they started to understand and will come over once in a while to visit baby. I have unmarried cousins telling me this and that what I should and should not do with baby. Good advice I will take otherwise I will let it go in 1 ear out the other. They will get annoyed with me for not listening but I tell them, get your own kid then you try it out on them. Im softspoken before becoming a Mummy but after I had my child nothing else matters. What people say or ask me to do I wont bother too much I like to do things my way so that I can proudly say I bring up my child myself without relying on others. As for ur SIL who likes to pretend punch your child, tell her off. Sometimes you need to be super blunt to these type of people because if your child happen to play punch her in future she will blame you and not her own actions. Aunt in law who like to hit children to discipline them? What even. We as mummy cant even bear to hit out own child. The heartache when someone else do that even if its a tap. Try to avoid meeting her with your child. If cant be avoided try to have your child always near you when she is around. Discipline your child in front of her your own way. I always do that eg, telling me child what is right or wrong explaining nicely because kids react better to adults reasoning things that they understand rather than you hit them. If all else fail, remove yourself and child from shitty situation and stupid people. Show them you have more authority over your child than them and that you are not afraid to speak your mind when it come to your child. They will eventually get it and steer away from creating problems or being stupid around your child. 😁😁😁😁
