You can never win with these people, no matter what you do. These situations can make you feel very angry and frustrated, and even though you might feel like exploding and telling them to back off, you should think about taking a more diplomatic route. Try not to take things too personal even when they’re attacking your parenting skills.
Also, it would be great if you had your spouse as an ally and be on the same page. Even though your in-laws are very critical, you can still be nice and say something like ‘I appreciate your opinion, but this works better for us.’
You don’t need their approval and the only thing that really matters is you and your spouse seeing eye to eye on certain things. You need to stay positive and optimistic and continue to do your thing and who knows, maybe eventually they will see you have good intentions.
