3. They tend to criticize all your moves.
In-laws tend to disapprove a lot of the way their children are being raised. A Michigan mother shared on Parenting.com that her mother-in-law always tells her how lucky she is to have a nanny since she’s working so much and she’s not able to take care of her own child.
Another mother from Minnesota says that her mother-in-law always criticizes her and her parenting skills, especially when her child is feeling sick and her husband is the one that takes a day off to take care of him. Through their eyes, she’s a bad mom, even though her husband is the one with a more flexible work schedule, and he doesn’t mind staying at home with his children.
