Let me try to explain this...
Ever make a decision for your child...and have someone go against your decision to fight you on it? I'd rather not say what's going on...but I made a decision with my dh for my son NOT to do something and this person is going against me telling me they don't accept my decision. I just feel like my decision is being disrespected. In addition, our relationship is being affected because this person won't respect my decision.
I just had to vent.

 You are his mother. Whoever it is should respect what you want.

Re: Let me try to explain this...
Sorry to hear you are going through something like this. I believe that as parents of your child, you and your husband should decide what's best or what to have or not to have. I feel you should mention this to this person that it's not respecting your decision. Tell them you appreciate their input but at the time of making decisions about your child, your husband and you have the last word.
Good Luck and here are some

Re: Let me try to explain this...
Yes I definitely have.
Instead of disagreeing outright, they are passive aggressive & disregard my wishes. It's definitely affected my relationship with DH to the point where I'm becoming more & more hostile toward the person and will do anything to avoid them.

Re: Let me try to explain this...
There is always going to be someone who has something to say...whether it is something major or minor.
It can be soooooo frustrating...as long as you and your DH are in agreement that is all that matters.

Re: Let me try to explain this...
Wow, that's rude! I bet this person wouldn't like it too much if you tried to tell them how to live their life.
Sorry you are going through this.

You are his mother. Whoever it is should respect what you want.
Exactly...what you say goes.....that other person should apologize and then shut it

Re: Let me try to explain this...
Unless one of these people is the child's parent (and it's not the case!) they have NO SAY and their opinion is obviously NOT being requested.
You are his mommy. What you say goes, period.
How freaking rude...
Sorry you have to deal with this. I would seriously consider keeping Jared away from this person temporarily...

Re: Let me try to explain this...
I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but now that Luca's born I can totally relate. My MIL is convinced that she knows how to do everything better than I do. I don't like him getting the paci too much, but she just loves to shove that thing in no matter how many times I tell her it's only for when he's screaming his head off. If I bring him to her house in an outfit (a onsie, sweatshirt and sweat pants) she will change him into pajamas because she's convinced that;s the only way he's comfortable. She will even go so far as to tell me he peed/pooped on his clothes but everytime I check them there's no wet or dirty spots. 
I have realized that it's best to pick my battles with my MIL. As completely annoying and disrespectful it is for her to ignore my wishes, I know the time will come when it's over something more important than clothes or a paci and I will have to put my foot down then.

Re: Let me try to explain this...
For once, this is NOT about my MIL...
Thank you ladies for all your support. I wish I could explain it in detail but I might have a lurker.
