Congratulations..Could be worse I suppose..you could have my sister butting in pretending to be "megamom" like she did when my kids were little.. My kids both turned out just fine, both her kids already have prison records.. I guess megamom screwed up somewhere along the way, huh?
The benign questioning didn't bug me so much as the people who never raised so much as a kitten in their lives telling me how to raise my kids..everyone is suddenly the eggspurt about kids despite remaining childless and single their entire lives..just don't spoil your kids to the point that they expect everything handed to them. Mine were raised pretty much on the edge of poverty, but it served them well. Both work hard for everything they now have as adults.
