How do you shut down unsolicited advice from a MIL

Honestly, this all depends on your partner. If you’ve spoken to him and he’s on his mother’s side then it’s gonna be a little bit harder but if he’s on your side then you can make him do all the talking. But if it is on you, I would send her a very respectful text message expressing your feelings and just tell her that you want to parent your own way and not necessarily the way she does and that’s okay bc everyone is different and has different morals and values. Just be respectful, bc more than likely she’s coming with pure intentions but trust me i understand how annoying that can get.

in one ear, out the other. best way without her getting offended. otherwise if its crossing your boundaries and making you extremely uncomfortable, voice it to your partner to let his mom know that while you appreciate her concern, you want to do parent your way and that should be respected.

I’m not sure how much she visits but I would just ignore her if it’s only a few times she comes I know it’s hard but it will not cause any issues! If not then I would ask your partner to speak to her at the end it’s his mother that’s what we’ve done in our relationship anything we don’t like from his side he deals with and anything from mine I deal with!! Continue doing what YOU think is right it’s your baby and you know best x
