44 - Still Talking About… The Breaking Point

How does a relationship with your in-laws go from manageable to strained, or even completely nonexistent? Usually, there’s a story behind it.   This week, Janelle asked her followers what finally changed THEIR relationships with their in-laws… and once again, you guys had a lot to say.   She’s getting into some of the moments that became breaking points, from in-laws who disappeared when their families needed them most to grandparents keeping score, ignoring health boundaries, refusing to take accountability, and sharing VERY personal announcements on social media before the parents had a chance to do it themselves.   Janelle also talks about why new parents shouldn’t be responsible for managing everyone else’s expectations, how quickly trust can disappear when boundaries are repeatedly ignored, and the surprisingly powerful role a genuine apology can play when you screw up.   For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.
