A holiday is meant to be enjoyed thoroughly so that you get a well-deserved break from your normallife.
Thats whyBored PandacontactedLia Huynh, LMFT, who has over 20 years of counseling expertise.
She helps individuals and couples who are dealing with a wide variety of issues.
She also made a video about how to deal withdifficult in-laws.
We asked Lia if its normal to keep updating ones in-laws about where you are or what youre doing.
She said thatit all depends on whether it works for everyone involved.
However, we do see that it is malfunctioning because his wife feels the request is crossing herboundaries.
We also reached out toDr.
Wyatt Fisher, a couples therapist and leader of theTX marriage retreat.
However, needing more information than that is excessive and is overbearing.
Lia also told us that it shouldnt be the OPs job to alleviate her mom-in-laws fears.
She can work with her husband to talk about what information she feels comfortable sharing.
Hopefully they can come to a compromise and it can be a win-win situation all the way through.
Its tough to set boundaries within-lawsbecause misunderstandings can easily happen, and things can get out of control.
Lia Huynh explained that most daughters-in-law want to have good relationships with their mothers-in-law.
Hopefully, over time, it can be a win-win situation.
Lets hope she implements some of these suggestions and gets to have a relaxing holiday soon.
