Fil is forever giving us unsolicited advice.
For context, dh and I have been together a long time. I've got older dc and feel that myself and dh are confident and competent parents.
Since youngest dc was born fil just hasn't stopped.
When I had a break from breastfeeding because I as sore he told me I should start breastfeeding again because it was much easier.
At 12 months old we needed to, and I quote "get dc walking now", like he did with dh.
6 months was too late for weaning.
Needed to get dc out of nappies (dc was toilet trained before 3 without fil input)
Needing to get dc out of pull ups at night
Holding baby too much.
What school dc should go to (despite not living in the area or having any knowledge of local schools).
I'm sure there's more.
What makes me really angry is that when we explain our reasons for doing things, he always has to have the last say and ends the conversation with "well I think..."
He also brings things up every time we see him.
He's talking out of his arse, we are perfectly capable parents and know our dc best, what with us being with them most of the time and basing our decisions on their needs, and current up to date advice.
Dh says to ignore it but I can't, I take it as an insult. Why does he think he knows better than the actual parents?
