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

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.

On these pages we often read about parents who seems so confident and knowledgeable about parenting. I just wonder if those parents have had big problems with their kids or maby been negatively surprised by their kids behavior. Do spankers, do non-spankers, do loving and caring parents all face the same: problems with their kids? Who can really say that my way is the only way?

If you have a good look at the way your parents raised you/are raising you, what do you disagree with?

What will make a conscience choice to do/not do with your own children (when you decide to have them)?

Do you think your parents have done a good job at raising you? Why or why not?
I don’t give people best answer when they ask for it =]
Audrey… Sounds like you have amazing parents and you sound really mature for a 14year old. I was expecting you to be much older when I was reading your answer.
