Disagreements with in laws

[dogwhite]

Any advice on setting boundaries with your in laws after the birth of a child, dealing with difficult conversations and how to manage stress associated with this?

Your partner should be managing their own parents.
What sort of behaviour are you expecting that’s got you worried?
Can you talk to your partner about it and get them to lay some ground rules with their parents?

Don’t! Just take everything as it comes! You draw a line in the sand now you’re going to be wondering in a year/ two years who your child doesn’t see their gps a lot/ why their gps don’t care etc.

think about your own parents- your in laws are the same as them, they’re family that are hopefully very excited to see a new little baby coming into the family. Both sets of gps deserve to get a chance to be gps the same way yours did and the same way you might one day. (Unless there’s a massive backstory in which case apologies!!)

Post birth is imo time to put you first.. Remember she has had her dc. Your time to enjoy your newborn your way.
Dh gets a say if the next dc comes out of his nether regions...

First, hand your in laws over to your husband. They're his family and it's for him to speak to them about their behaviour.

Second, change the subject regarding difficult conversations and refuse to engage with them.
