To got the long story short ever since our twin boys were born my husbands mother has seemed to make it her aim to prove we’re irresponsible and inadequate parents.

Almost every day there’s a new problem; my twins shoes are “too small”, the formular I make is too watery, their clothes are not well ironed, I dont change their diapers often enough, I left potty training too late etc etc. Every single time I have seen her, she is at our house several times a week, there’s a new made up issue she’s suddenly got with the way we’re bringing up our children.

Me and my Husband are good parents, we make sure our twins have everything they need and they are very well taken care of. But for some reason almost everyday, either in person or over the phone, I find myself having to defend myself and my parenting choices. And then even after that she will come to our house without warning and she will have bought items she thinks we need e.g. food she thinks the children should be eating and completely undermines me.
Me and my husband are so so tired of this now. No matter what we say it never gets better, she never listens and she never respects us enough to leave us alone and be happy in the knowledge we’re doing a good job. I understand that we are all she has, my husband is her only child and she’s lives on her own but her approach to trying to be in her grand children’s lives is just so wrong. How do we deal with this?
