MIL question
I do not get along with my ILs. At all. DH and I have a limited relationship with them for a lot of reason.
Yesterday we called the to wish them a Happy Easter. The first question MIL asked me was if I'd be EBF because thats the only way to go, I should quit my job so I can EBF, etc.
I was so caught off guard. My own mom hasn't even asked me if I was planning on BFing. I'm still really upset by this today. MIL in particular has no boundaries at all.
WWYD? Let it go. Have DH talk to her about how some questions are for him and I to discuss, not her/boundaries, or should I call or email her about it?
I know this may not seem big in the grand scheme of things...it's just the relationship we have anyway is strained and this is icing on a cake kind of thing.
Re: MIL question
If you feel comfortable saying something to her, then go ahead, but I would do it over the phone instead of e-mail. I, personally, would either just brush it off and not answer questions like that from her in the future since it's none of her bus
People can/will ask anything they want... It's good to just have some sort of canned response like "thanks for the advice" or "that's something to think about".
Then go do what you want

I agree with Cinderin.
Also, people forget boundaries when you are pregnant. Especially when it comes to breastfeeding. I had complete strangers come up and say when are you due? Followed by tons of breastfeeding advice and even comments on
