 To be honest, you are living in thier home. They have been raising thier son for his entire life. Maybe they're having flashbacks.

Having been there...... the only option is to leave and that doesn't always help either.  We lived with the in-laws until my second daughter was 6 months old and had I known 5 yrs ago what I know now......I never would have uprooted my family from Florida to Canada.  My m-i-l, mainly ,made my life a living hell for the first year I lived here.  It's gotten better but, she still over steps her boundaries.  As long as you live in their house they will never listen to you or respect you as a parent.

This is only my opinion, but i would be packing my bags right now. If you have talked to them already and they are still doing it, they are not going to stop.  I am the type of person that if I want your advice I'll ask for it. You and your husband are the parents and you have to put your foot down. No, they won't like it, but they'll get over it!!!
