i am taking offense at my aunt who feels like i cant make my own decisions.she will keep interfering with whats going on in my home at times until i want to never talk to her again.when i was in between jobs she kept on telling me how i should do away with the house help to save money yet i needed her so that i have the time to do other errands and the job hunting,she also decides how she knows better about how i should bring up my kids or how i should use my time.do you come across such people and how do you deal with them in view its a relative who you just cant bang the door on their face.

I'm glad I don't have this kind of relatives but my friend does, his mom.
It's almost like his mom is running his life, do this do that. Since I'm close to this friend and his mom is a friend to my mother, she's also almost doing the same thing to us. Telling my mother what to do and not. Really annoying most of the time but she's also helping, so I'm glad with her help.

Sadly there are people who love make other's lives their business. Sometimes they mean no harm and really do care but they come out as annoying.
Most of the times I just ignore these kinds of people. However, if they just won't shut up, I just tell them to take their advice and apply them to their lives.

It sounds like my husband's aunt. She is a bit annoying and sometimes, she gets into my nerves that I would raise my voice just to be heard of my views. I didn't want to be mean with her. It's just that she should know when to stop meddling. I know that she only means well, but constantly hearing her opinions is driving me crazy.

i think people should learn to give advise when asked,you would think their own life is perfect,i will make sure i dont over do my advise to others it can be so irritating until when what you are saying is so right and appropriate you have been given a deaf ear.

Some people are unapologetic when it comes to unsolicited advice. My aunt was almost the same in personality and action and I sometimes take the higher ground and ignore her. Talking back will only result in a war of words that might not sit with me and her in the long run. But sometimes I do wish she shut her trap when it comes to my issues. I think she better focus that energy on her life instead of mine. And banging the door on her face would be a pleasure to do but also rude.
