I think the key is reading and then digesting the information until you come up with the right formula for your family.

We definitely get a lot of interesting advice, especially with both adoption and twins in the mix! I grin and bear it most days, except when I finally blow! Haha. I love reading to and would love to know more of your recommendations! Sounds like a blog post! 😉

What if your mother in law never gets it, and keeps giving that advice?! 😉 ESPECIALLY about bedtime!

I had a friend say, that the first time, he thanks them. If they say it a second time, he reminds them they've already told him. If they say it a third, he expresses that he wants the best for his family and it is disrespectful to repeat advice he hasn't asked for. I don't know that I have the guts to do that, but I do agree with his methods.

You are right, why get upset? However, I try to steer away from giving advice unless I am asked.

I agree that you just need to smile and say thanks, then just do what you feel is best.
