I generally agree with the principle of each of us only dealing with our parents, and leave the inlaw matters to the respective partner to handle. In my newborn / postpartum wife's case, however, I had to step in just that one time. Le wifey was really already too stressed out at that point to fend off the MIL herself, and I was quite worried she'd have a mental breakdown if the MIl continues to lay on her about how she is doing it all wrong.
I know the MIL means well, and her behaviour is the typical Cantonese old gen style where they only know how to criticize others. (Plus some of the child rearing things she suggested was just outdated and plain wrong now.) Le wifey is used to all that under normal circumstances, and I wouldn't have to worry. But at a time like that, the delivery is just all wrong and completely unsuitable for the situation.
