					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.henrypoon.com/blog/2010/01/13/portrait-of-an-istj/#comment-42&quot;&gt;peggy&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi! Thanks for your comment!
I&#039;m not exactly an expert on this subject as this is just stuff I read online and I am sure there are others that could provide better advice than I can.  I&#039;ll try to do what I can though.  Plus, I am not exactly at the age where I should be having children, so my thoughts are coming from a young adult&#039;s perspective, whereas your though is from someone a lot older.
I don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve tried, but maybe you should talk to your son and daughter in law about this?  I feel that the best way to solve the problem is to confront it.  One thing about ISTJ&#039;s (at least it applies to me), they have a tendency to feel that they are always right and may not listen to logic (or at least feel their reason is better than yours). Another important thing is that you should try to avoid an argument by not raising your voice.  Since you&#039;re an ENFJ, you may have a tendency to use feelings rather than logic.  That is one of the big differences between ISTJ and ENFJ, but that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s not going to work out.  If the relationship is going to work out, both sides must put in the effort.  I&#039;m not saying that you&#039;re not putting in effort, I am just trying to make a point about working with people that have different personalities.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My daughter in-law is an istj.  I am an enfj.  We are having some problems with her being obsessed with my grandchildren.  She wants complete control.  I have a new grandson.  She seems to see me as a threat and does not want me to hold him.  My son (who is an intj) has to physically take the baby from her and give him to me.  In six years, she has never once asked me if I would like to hold her babies (3) or handed the babies to me.  I am hurting over this situation and do not know how to stop hurting or how to handle her in this situation.  This is a huge problem for me and even though it&#039;s a deliberate action, I hate to think it is with malice.  In some ways because of her anger towards (very subtle but there), I feel she wants my husband and I out of the picture.  All I want is to be close to my grandchildren, my son and my daughter in law.  At this time, I don&#039;t see that happening without a lot of stuffing my feelings inside.  Please help!]]></description>
