By Jenna D. Barry
“My in-laws want to see my kids constantly. They drop by the house unexpectedly and stay for long visits. They offer unwanted advice about everything from breast pumps to hemorrhoids.”
Can you relate to those statements? If so, then how do you usually respond when your in-laws say or do something you don’t like? Do you gossip about them to your spouse, parents, siblings, and friends? Do you hold grudges against them? Do you demand that your mate tell his or her parents to jump off a cliff?

by Jenna D. Barry

You can be firm if necessary, but remember to be tactful so you can make progress toward gaining your future husband’s loyalty and respect. (Read the rest.)
