Midlife Mommas: A Girlfriends Approach to Life After Menopause

Midlife & the Mother-In-Law Club

Amelia & Cam Season 2 Episode 106

Cam and Amelia love to talk about relationships. We are all about maintaining healthy  boundaries & relationships. One special relationship that comes into play in midlife is being an in-law.  Some of you might have been dreaming of this since your children were little kids, but not me. It kinda snuck up on me. But being an in-law is both amazing and challenging. It's a little bit like adopting a grownup. Our children choose their spouses, but their (new) spouses inherit a whole new family.

We explore this new relationship in this episode of The Midlife Mommas. Whether you're a new in-law, have been an in-law for a while, or are just beginning to consider this option, we hope you find some insight here. And this isn't just for mothers-in-law, if you're married, you're an in-law!!

Some things to consider:

  • How did watching your parents with their in-laws affect your view on this role?
  • What societal expectations come with being an in-law?
  • How does your new in-law get along with the rest of the family?
  • How can you respect the boundaries of the newly-formed family that is your child and your new in-law?
  • What do you hope to gain from being an in-law?

As always, this is a fun & insightful message. Thanks for joining us on this ride!

Stay Connected!
