Yeah, I agree that the above is excellent advice. Engaging in a way that comes off as “you’re a shit parent so I’m going to do it for you” isn’t likely to build conflict. It’s possible how the mother reacts regardless of what you say (due to insecurity about her parenting), but it’s going to be much better if everyone is working together rather than against each other, so that’s the best place to start.
