Dealing with in-laws who don’t respect your parenting choices can be a huge source of stress and conflict in your family. If you’ve ever felt like your boundaries are being ignored, especially when it comes to your kids, you know how frustrating it can be. In this episode, I answer a listener’s question about navigating tricky in-law dynamics, especially when your partner doesn’t fully see the issue.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling undermined as a parent—like when your in-laws feed your kids food you’ve explicitly said no to—this episode is for you. I share actionable tips on how to address these situations calmly and effectively without turning it into a full-blown family argument. You’ll learn how to communicate boundaries clearly, work through differences with your partner, and maintain a positive relationship with your in-laws.
Tune in to discover how to protect your parenting choices while keeping the peace in your family. Whether it’s food, discipline, or other boundary issues, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to handle in-law conflicts with confidence and grace.
