In laws input

[weekendtime]

How much input do your in laws have in your other half's work/job prospects?
My OH had an interview and they were straight away on the phone before my OH had a chance to tell me anything about it, I was sat waiting outside as I had dropped him off (just fit context, of course they should speak to their son about his interview)
When he later told them he hadn't got the job, his mum gave a list of suggestions he could do. Almost forgetting that these would be things my OH would have thought about already. And when my OH said he wouldn't be doing some of those suggestions, their joint reply was that doing the things his mum suggested wouldn't do any harm.I found it quite overbearing they needed their needs to be followed rather than listening to what my OH was saying to them. Now I am
All for their concern but AIBU to think they need to stay in their lane so to speak? we are both in our 30's, professionals with 3 children, we've made it this far!

That could be very overbearing or just involved and interested parents. My mum likes to hear about my interviews and stuff and i like talking to her about it - she knows her stuff and she's my mum so i like talking to her about it. She tends to wait until i call her tho! Does it bother your OH? If it doesn't I'd just let them crack on, where's the harm?

Sounds like my in laws they like to be over involved and think they know everything that is going on. Over time I've encouraged my husband to share less with them so they aren't so in our faces.

My husband had quite a few job interviews at the start of the year after a career change. He told them about the first one and they texted the day before, on the morning of, that evening and then wanted a full debrief when they saw him on why he thought he didn't get it, you know just what you need when you haven't got the job. After that he stopped telling them about the interviews. They've always been so over involved in things I think they hate that he doesn't share everything with them now. We had a huge fallout over their over involvement when we had our first child, they told me they were having problems accepting he was an adult (at 33 I might add ). I laughed in their faces when they said it I wasn't sure how else to react!

My DM text my DH after his recent interview, he was surprised by thought it was nice she'd remembered. His own mum will have remembered but sometimes worries about being too interfering (her MIL was), so would wait to hear from him. Ultimately not your Circus, not your monkeys, if DH has an issue is for him to deal with, with his parents.
