How do you politely get your in-laws to butt out when it comes to parenting your child?

Bubbybaby asked:


Here’s the situation. My husband and I are very close to his grandmother. She lives alone, and we visit her often. The problem is she is kind of paranoid when it comes to our daughter. It’s annoying to have answer the same old questions over and over..”When will her teeth come in?” (My baby is 7 months. She has been asking us since she was 4 months old) Is she sick? (After my daughter sneezes once at her house. His grandmother smokes in her garage which may be the problem, but I don’t want to be rude and bring this up.) And, countless other things. Sometimes it seems like she is putting down are parenting skills.

How do I tell her to butt out in a nice way. I’m afraid that one day I’m going to blow up on her, and I don’t want that to happen.

she took her from england to spain it may not be the same as in USA.

I need either advice or a parenting guide for a single father of a teen daughter. I’m not being a brat either, he really did ask me to find out other people’s opinions for him, so honest answers please.

How to get husband to “plug in” to parenting?

ADC asked:


For example, my husband has never fed a bottle to either of our children or stayed up with them when they were sick. I really haven’t slept in 3 years.He works a stressful job and sees my job as a stay-at-home mom to do the bulk of the parenting. My problem is that I don’t EVER get a break. I don’t even get 1 hour a week to myself.
The obvious answer is to ask him to pick up the slack when I want to go do something & in turn let him get out too. He says he is too uncomfortable and won’t know what to do while I’m gone. At the same time he doesn’t want to learn how to fix a bottle, etc. He says he has never been comfortable around babies but he feels sure he will be more comfortable with them when they are older. In the meantime I’m so tired I collapse in bed each night with no quality of life. Babysitters are not an option I’m comfortable with. I do have some family who could sit with them and let me get out but it makes me resent him for not being willing to try to parent.

Does parenting strictly decide how smart kids turn out or is there some genetic link?

Seymour Butz asked:


Like I hear people say that “that kid is just too smart.”

Or is it parenting skills that determine how smart someone becomes. Not just parenting skills but parents being ideal role models like parents who are always reading, always having intellectual conversations, parents who give weekly pep talks, etc. etc.

I’m a nice guy but I’m not the smartest guy in the world and I attribute it to my parents. They are not the smartest people themselves, they’re not the most hard working, stuff like that.

What do you think.
I’m talking about nerdy smart. like doing well in school and in your career.

I’m not talking about street smarts.
