I didn't handle it well when DS was a baby because the unsolicted advicec was constant! I would get annoyed and usually just tell her that's not how I do it and not how I want it done. I learned quickly to just loosen up and hear her out. Most times I will still ignore her advice but once in a while she will say something that I didn't think of that makes sense, so I'll give it a try. I try to listen with an open ear, but I still get the final say how I do things with my DS.



Ditto!!
