"Grace,
Can you just say to your Mom, in the nicest way possible, that it's not her business. Probably not - she's your mom and is wise to you, right?
My daughter has 5 dogs, and the way she handles family who don't approve is that she just tells them that - "Oh no. We're never getting rid of our dogs."
She really doesn't argue. That's just it!
Your kids sound like an average 5 kid family. Try an mp3 player with your favorite music on and a good set of earphones.
