I’m not particularly close to mine, although I get on reasonably well with my mother-in-law—more “ok-ish” than anything else. She can be a bit annoying at times, but it’s manageable.
I’m curious what others’ experiences are like. Do you maintain contact with your in-laws separately from your ex? For example, do you meet them or allow them to see your child without your ex being present, or is everything usually done through the ex?
To be honest, I don’t really want to see my ex at all, but I assume I’ll still need to manage handovers, so I’m wondering what people generally do in relation to in-laws as well. What’s considered normal in these situations?
