I have an issue with my mother in law thinking she is the parent of our child. She also thinks that if she does something I don’t like and now don’t trust her watching her or going anywhere with her alone that I have no right to feel that way because she has raised two boys.

We tell her please do not feed her sweets before she has had her lunch/dinner and as soon as we turn our back she gives it to her and yells at us because we told her no and it’s not that big of a deal.

She believes that we should give our daughter full blown spankings at only a year old and that she’s going to be a horrible child because of lack of discipline. Also her husband slammed on the breaks while I was in the car because he was mad. (My husbands family constantly fight and yell).

Sorry for the rant but I guess my question is how do I get her to back off and see the things she is doing is not okay and I have every right to feel the way I do.
