Your30th birthdayis a huge milestone.
But unfortunately for one woman, her mother-in-laws 60th birthday seems to have taken priority.
And for many of us, these new family members are welcomed additions.
But sadly, thats not always the case.
PsychologistTerri Apterfound throughout her research that a whopping 75% of couples have had conflicts with an in-law.
And if youre unlucky, well, you might be better off avoiding them at all costs.
They might view you as an outsider, rather than a family member.
Another possibility is that youre too attractive.
And, of course, your in-laws may simply be jealous of you.
Because they love their parents, they might not have noticed how bad their behavior has gotten.
Remember to have realistic expectations as well.
But practicing self-care and setting boundaries might help you stay sane.
Resist the temptation to take your in-laws behavior personally, and be gentle with yourself.
And if nothing else seems to be working, you might simply need to get some space.
Seeing your in-laws twice a year on holidays might be enough.
