Vent: Hubby told me his mother mentioned at a recent outing that she hopes we don’t use a pacifier with our expected newborn.

It’s our choice whether we do this or not first of all. I understand the pros and cons of a pacifier and don’t need her judgement added to it. Just because she was the “perfect mother” and knows everything doesn’t mean we have to do things exactly how she wants us to. Is she also going to judge me if I can’t breastfeed like my mother and sister weren’t able to?

How does one deal with over-opinionated mothers? I usually ignore her advice but feel like her judgements with how we choose to raise our child are going to set me over the edge and I won’t be able to keep my mouth shut long. She’s lucky she didn’t say that to me, and probably didn’t for this very reason because I’m pissed.
