How do you react if your family member interfers in your matters unnecessarily?

If I feel a family member is interfering, I usually ignore it. However, if they start to get rude and try and tell me what to do, I tell them to mind their own business.

It's seen very often that parents don't accept that their children are already adult person and handling their life on their own, having their own family yet. If I am in a bad situation and ask for advice, is one point and I accept any advice. But, if I recieve advice when I don't need it, I didn't ask for and only recieve it because someone of my family thinks that I should change something because he or she "thinks" so, I usually don't react as if I didn't hear anything. Because, if I have to answer to complish the thoughts of someone, maybe this answer wouldn't be very nice. In many families exist a member who likes to study the life of the other members to see where he or she can put some salt and pepper in as this person hasn't got nothing else to do.

If one of my family members interferes to much in my business, I tell them to bug off. I don't mind a bit of advice now and then and I may or may not take it, but don't push the matter. Of course everyone in my family is like that. We appreciate your opinion, but don't push it.

I have been known as a person of cool mind.My family members say I am too simple.Even my wife is of the same opinion.But I don't claim to be one.Whenever any elder interferes in my matters,I try to not get disturbed,because I know they are my well wishers.I just explain to me what the matter is and assure them I would respect their advice.They get satisfied and so do I.In fact,our elders take care of us.They are our well wishers.It is not their interference with our matters,it is their well wishes.

Hi, Fortunately my family members don't interfere in my matters unnecessarily. They used to give me space. I can do anything I want. they trust me. But if anyone interferes me unnecessarily and get irritated by their advices. I don't entertain their advices. I like to avoid such people who are too nosy.

Hi friend, some times it is annoying while some of our relatives and other persons enter in our family matters undauntedly, we will get irritation with this kind of persons, if the person is really caring about you and giving proper suggestion, i will take their idea, otherwise i don't care about it and suggest them to avoid interfering in my family matters

I am fine if the interference or advise is well thought out, and the person is accustomed to being the well-wisher in the past and to everybody. But if the person discriminates with one person who has more monies and other who does not have and tries to impose wishes just because the person does not have monies or is socially weak, then it can be as bad as an uprising. I think it is ok to share knowledge. But others do have reasons for doing or abstaining from doing things. Not every one of those reasons is shared with everybody. This is the reason, minding own business is the best policy. I do suggest things, but I dont insist that such things be done in the way I suggest them. Generally though, I offer advise only in a very mild way as if I would have done it like that. It would give another person an idea if it has not been thought of. That is as far as unsolicited advise. When the person seeks advise, I really am in hot spot..lol. I get nervous..I shouldnt go wrong. lol Some ego..lol. So I try to think a lot about it and then also I add a disclaimer saying ask others as well as I am not sure I am right. lol.

Definitely! My husband's family is quite interfering on everything. It sometimes gets to a point that it gets really irritating and I couldn't hold myself so I voice out what I want to say. I know that it may seem rude, but what my brother in law is blabbing about is a total non-sense, at times. He thinks that he knows everything and wouldn't accept defeat.

in my opinion it is fine to hear their advises because at the end I will be the one that will decide on the matter. It is true that there are times that we just want to be left alone but family is family. They care about us because they love us and it is a natural thing that they want to say what they thought might be the best for a certain problem or situation. If ever that I am really in a bad mood and don't want to talk to anybody, i just tell them that i want to be alone and they got the message perfectly well.

When family interferes with my matters, I try to put up with it with a facial expression that does not show anger and learn from my mistakes. For me, I generally try to think of ways to make sure I keep a low profile with my parents. Most of the time, there have been times where relatives have interfered with my matters, which has happened when I accidentally give my parents too much information. I even try to think about not telling people who know any of my family members very well like friends of the family. I also try to think of excuses for number of different scenarios if for some reason my relatives figure about some personal matters I didn't want anyone to interfere with. I know that can make me sound very paranoid, but I just hate it when people interfere with my personal matters without my knowledge or consent beforehand.
