Anxiety around in laws
Does anyone else experience major anxiety over the thought of meeting up with in laws? They’re rude and self centred and I find them toxic to be around. My partner knows I dont like them but I obviously hide it and make an effort to be nice around them for the sake of him and our baby. Anyone else? Tips on how to get through? We don’t see them tonnes as they don’t make any effort but when we do I always feel this way

@Kerry I do preferably arrange to pop to theirs or meet out so that we aren’t stuck with them at ours as they over stay and never know when to leave. He doesn’t stand up when they’re rude no but he’s very much a people pleaser and he doesn’t even stand up for himself when they’re rude to him! Thanks for your reply x
Unfortunately I also get anxious around in-laws. I use feeds and diaper changes as an opportunity to get some alone time with just me and my baby. I use it to help re-centre myself and have found that’s been helpful in getting through visits. I hope it gets better for you!

Can you limit to short visits? (Doesn't solve it I know) Does he stand up for you when they are rude?
