You guys are providing sound advice. I sometimes manage to do something similar or at least ignore her. All too often I say something profane (so she'll understand I did not appreciate the advice) or just tell her she does not know what she is talking about.
I feel blessed my wife puts up with me. On the other hand, I think there must be something in the female gene that causes them to want to offer unsolicited advice about things they know absolutely nothing about. I avoid to the maximum extent possible asking for my wife to hold up the other end of a board or any kind of assistance because it always seems to be accompanied by advice that I then have to deal with. She is also uncannily unskilled. If there are not 3,000 verbal briefings on the correct way to hold up a board, it will be done worse than no help at all. My son can step in and do the right thing without coaching. I truly do not get this. My best strategy is to keep the wife out of the shop.
