Everything to do with my kids she thinks she can tell me what to do.
yes im a 'young mum' but i have a fiance, a house, and 2 children and a dog so i think i can parent how I choose?
every time she sees me she picks on something, if im too strict with my son (he only goes on the naughty step for 2 minutes if hes naughty) or sits there and lets him misbehave even though i tell her to tell him of. always babys him, if he falls over and gets back up shell still go over and tend to his every need. i dont mean to sound harsh but like if you baby them too much there always going to be scared of ya no climbing trees and doing a bit of ruff and tuble and being kids. if i say to my nan he can have 1 sweet and thats it before his lunch shell sit there and say have 2 more and say im being mean when i say he shouldnt have it. Thingss like i contemplated having my daughters ears pierced and mentioned it to my mum, she then went on to say how id be an auful parent if I did that etc etc and having a go at me, when i think yeah you may not like it, each to there own, but shes my daughter not yours?
If im at my auintys its always sarcy comments on how i shud do this and that and 'oh i didnt do that with my child' and upeyes me. i hoover ever day and i have a husky who maults so badly and my floor gets covered in hairs very easily and everytime people (familly) see it they say i dont clean and i need to be more responsable. honestly my house is normally tidy 24/7 its not messy at all , im a bit of a clean freak so do a good clean daily lol
what you tell your familly to buzz of and mind there own buisness or would you sit and take it, or am i just over reacting? lol
i sit and take it every time just sit and say yes yes yes and agree because i cant be bothered with an argument but should i tell them to stay out and let me do what I want?

It doesn't matter what age you are, it's still up to you how to bring up your kids. I'd have a word and explain that whether she agrees with you or not she should support your decisions, because they are your children, not hers. I'm not saying she has to agree with you about everything but she shouldn't undermine you in front of them and respect that you're a good mum. Good luck xx
 
If its really bothering you then i would say something, it doesnt have to be a major blowout, just a few subtle hints that you know what you're doing and this is how its to be done.
