Hey! I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and my husband's in-laws drive me mad. They have a opinion on everything and think they are right on every subject. They have been this way ever since I have known them but recently it's irritating me more because I'm pregnant and they think they know best for my pregnancy.
They are very awkward with my mother and step dad too! They couldn't get my step dads name right for years and have only recently called him by his correct name. I am very protective with my mother because she's the only relative I have. She's very outgoing, loves a glass of wine and won't say a bad word about anyone. However, they are the opposite, they don't drink and think that having nice things is a sin or something. They have opinions about my family and have been very rude to my mother in the past. I'm a very strong person but recently because I'm pregnant I have got extremely irritated by it and today I got very upset about comments they made about my mother. I will always pull them up on this but it's exhausting. My husband is very understanding and will always stand up for me. I try to let in fly over my head and recognise that they are worlds apart from my upbringing but it's hard. I hate it when they insult my family and I'm worried they will tell me how to raise my family. I know they are wrong in what they say but why do I let it get to me so much? Any advice on how to ignore other people's opinions and has anyone been in the same situation? Thanks
