parenting with

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 **** 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.

Why do people who don’t have kids feel free to give out parenting advice?

parenting advice

Like my boss for example. He is 32, has never been married, and has no children. He isalways taking it upon himself to give out parenting advice. Half the time he makes it pretty obvious that he has no children, cause his advice *****. Our office went to a Cancer Relay for Life and they were auctioning cakes off. My co-worker had her 3 yr old son there and he couldn’t see the cakes they were showing. She said that he kept saying “Moma I can’t see. I want to see the cakes too.” She said that our boss turned to her and had the nerve to say “You want me to take him out of here and bust his ****?” He has been around my daughter like 4 times maybe, and says that she is so spoiled that when she grows up, he won’t be surprised to see her at the top of a clock tower with a rifle shooting at people(Don’t ask me what that is suppose to mean!). I get so tired of hearing his comments. He doesn’t even have kids. Why do people like this give out parenting advice?
He is the supervisor. He owns the office.
