And she will also discover that staying in side with a baby 24/7 is a crazy and illogical idea! I know it may be hard but try not to let it get to you.. she thinks she knows everything.. but reality is completely different.. just wait till that baby comes she will be singing a different tune...

As to how to deal with her when she asks your advice... I would get used to answering "You know, Jeanine, I hadn't really thought about that. What are *you* planning?" Then listen. Chances are what she really wants is a chance to tell you all her great ideas. Let her. You don't owe her your thoughts and ideas, but you probably have to find a way to be polite. Good luck! :-) People like that tend to sink their own ships, so the good news is you probably don’t have to do anything but ignore her (in a friendly, family-like way of course).

Everyone has to raise their children how they feel is best. Don't worry about what your SIL says!

It's dangerous out there! No, I'm totally kidding, but I dont' know what to tell you to do, and she would make me absolutely NUTS!!!

Thats just weird. I dont really know how I would deal with this. I suppose just keep raising your son how you are and act confident about it! Let her know you think your a great Mom ! oh man. first of all that is crazy she plans to keep her child locked up forever because she wont take the baby in the car? Thats just weird.

If she isn't going to listen I wouldn't waste your breath on trying to make her listen. Just ignore it, or change the subject, and she'll eventually get the hint that you don't really care. A lot of women do this while pregnant.. "I won't do that" or "I'm going to do things this way" and then, when their baby IS here, they find they have to change everything around. It's easy enough to say you are going to or you're not going to do something but when the time comes for it you may not find it works. It would definitely be a bit annoying to be around someone like this but the best thing you can do is what she's doing. Let it go in one ear and out the other. You know you're doing a good job in raising your son, and that's all you really need to care about. So she’s going to stay cooped up in her house all the time? That seems silly.

She does seem a lot like a 'One Upper' where you could have climbed Everest, but she's done it twice with no oxygen [completely impossible]. I would certainly avoid her, and having anything to do with her. When she has her baby, she will receive quite a rude awakening. Since she'll have to take her baby out in the car for errands [other than Doctors], she'll use non-organic diapers. She'll also begin asking you for advice, since you've been there already, and when she does, I would simply say; "You had it all planned out before the baby, you made your bed, now lay in it."

Next time she says what sheeee would do, maybe you can try saying "I hope that works well for you". Or if she tosses another annoying question to you, toss it back- "what do YOU plan on doing? yeah? That should work. You'll figure it out when your kid gets here". How annoying. lol. OMG lol. Next time she says what sheeee would do, maybe you can try saying "I hope that works well for you".

When she asks for your advice or opinion tell her that it really depends on what she wants or how she feels about it and that you are sure she will make the best choice she can. This way you inflate her ego without allowing her to belittle you. Although I do think that you may be being a little sensitive to her remarks. It sounds like all you can do is ignore her.

I think when we are pregnant we have these ideals that we plan on doing. Like when I was pregnant I wondered why everyone told me "it is so hard to get the baby ready to go to the store" I Thought "I will be super organized and baby bag always packed and by the door. All I have to do is put the baby in the car seat and I am out the door!" I did not realize what I was really getting myself into! The bag is never packed right... my son poops after I put him in the carseat... etc... She probably just thinks she will have it all together but reality will set in. Plus I hate other mothers that tell me how to do things when I did not even ask for advice... I am sorry but that would be frustrating to be you in your situation! GL Poor naive mommy!
