You poor thing Natalea... sounds like your Dad and MIL are just so frustrating!!! ](*,)

I have been pretty lucky I guess... my parents have learnt to leave me alone, as I was quite a wild teenager and left home at 15, so when I fell pg at 20 (in 2003), they were nothing but supportive, as they had learnt not to judge me or critiscise me by then.
My MIL is a bit worse, but whenever she says something we don't agree with, we just nod and smile, then ignore it... I have learnt that there is no point arguring with her, and she even disowned DP once because we didn't agree with what she thought!! (ouch!!)

Having said that, it would be great if you could just tell them straight up to leave you alone, and let you live life the way YOU want to. What is the point of it afterall if no one lets you do things, and learn things on your own? While they think they know best, they are being pretty selfish and inconsiderate by not realising that it is each person to their own... that is the whole point of being an adult - getting to make your own decisions, and then being responsible for the outcome, whether good or bad. How else are we supposes to learn??

Do you think maybe you can make a stand, and tell them that they need to respect you and your DH as adults? Maybe if they start showing some respect to you guys, then you guys can give them some back by letting them know you respect their opinions... not that that means you necessarily agree with them!!

Goodluck with it all Natalea... I hope they butt out of everything soon...
