Did having a baby strain your relationship with your inlaws?

I got along OK with my inlaws before, but now I can't stand them! It's like they don't have a life and invested soo much into their son. They call constantly about stupid things like "did you feed him solids yet? You should." or "I was in your son's closet the other day and saw a shirt he never wore" etc etc I feel like they are invading my privacy. They act like their family is more important than my side and are jealous of every little thing like my mom coming out to help me when the baby was born. I sometimes wish we waiting a long time to have children you know??
 
yup, i know that feeling. whats worse is my son has cerebral palsy, and they still insist they know what i should be doing for him...what he should eat, what he should play with. when i said he wasnt crawling at 18 months, they wanted to know why I wasnt letting him! then, they buy clothes and insist he wears them, even if they dont fit properly or its not the right weather for them. i just say ok, and walk away for a few seconds and calm down before i talk to them again. i made it clear to my husband about boundaries, and if they cross them dont expect me to be too happy with them for awhile. it happens to most women i think...we just have to learn to deal with it somehow
