In Laws, Boundaries, and Holiday Battles
Manage episode 509785976 series 3673822
We open up about in-laws, hosting pressure, shifting traditions, and how to set boundaries that protect peace without burning bridges. From baby-era schedules to grandparent rules and “that doesn’t work for us,” we share scripts, stories, and a kinder way to hold holidays.
• holiday hosting anxiety and perfection pressure
• boundary scripts that are kind and firm
• evolving traditions after loss and new babies
• blending families without blame
• personality-aware communication with relatives
• grandparent dynamics and house-specific rules
• saying no early and offering alternatives
• protecting peace as a guiding value
