I am not a rude person at all and always nice and talk politely with others. My In-laws are very bossy,rude and bossy people and always try to impose things on me. I told them nicely couple of things which I do not like to do with my 11 months old baby girl (like giving her any food she is not suppose to eat all these and she might get sick with that ) but it seemes like they are never going to listen to me doesn't matter I am her mother. Some people said I have to be firm with. If I tell them firmly will it work? If they still doing things like this? How can I stop them? Please help me?

If you have asked them not to do certain things and they continue to do them, don't let them see her any more. But pick your battles. Is it something that you feel is endangering her or bad for her health? Then you need to be firm and tell them she can't have it.

Set down a list of rules in writing. Give them to the grandparents. If the grandparents. break the rules in your presence take your child and leave. Be firm and do this every time. Do not give in even if they promise they will "be good." Just like children they need to know if they break the rules you will enforce the consequences. If you find out that they break the rules when you are not around then say "I am sorry Mom/Dad but I can not leave Cham, Jr alone with you because you cannot follow my rules. Again you have to be firm. If you do not set the rules and enforce them then your parents will continue to ignore your wishes in this.

Sometimes with people like that, being nice doesn't work and you have to get nasty with them. If you feel you have told your in-laws nicely AND firmly many times and they're still doing what you don't want them to do, it is now time to become a b****. Get right in their face and say, "I have told you very nicely several times not to do _____, and yet you're still doing it. If you do it one more time, I'm not going to let you take care of my daughter anymore." They'll probably get mad, but at least they'll know you mean business.

Ask your husband to back you up. Tell them they had their turn to raise childen their way and you just want to do things your way.
