I'm an American married to an Indian man. Need advice on how to handle his mom. We get along fine but she does not know when to butt out. Like:
1. We have a 7yr old, facing medical problems, trying for 2nd one. She hears messages doctor leaves for me, wants me to change to female doctor, wants to know my "dates".
2. Even after 9 or 10 pm, she is still around in the living room, leaving us no time to talk as husband & wife or watch a movie together.
3. I'm cooking, get a call, it is private, she stands and listens to all my conversation.
4. My kid comes from school, upset about something, when I'm listening to her, mother-in-law interferes even before my kid is done talking. Then, my kid clams up.
5. My husband prefers to eat breakfast at his work, even if there is lots of it at home. she nags me no end about it.
6.He goes out with friends once in 3-4 weeks for a beer bash. She nags ME about that.
7. I got my hair cut short, she nags me.
Any suggestions?
