Why do mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships get such a bad rep, especially when boundaries and “mommy’s boy” dynamics come into play?

In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to maintain a healthy relationship with your in-laws — from first meetings and making a good impression, to navigating expectations after marriage. We explore what defines a healthy in-law relationship, whose responsibility it is to set boundaries, the role your partner plays as the bridge between both sides, and whether tension with your partner’s family is a red flag — or simply part of blending two imperfect family systems.
