Specifics would be hard without knowing them, but a general safe bit of advice would be to make a plan in advance on how to handle mother in laws. In our case, all 3 MIL’s were crazy makers and needed to be managed. They will want to ā€œbe involvedā€ on many levels on your journey. Back your wife in front of your mother, discuss later if needed.

I would add that the united front is also super important in front of the kids. Of course it’s important to show children how to deal with conflict within a marriage, but when it comes to dealing with children, supporting each other is important. Kids definitely know how to play one against the other so iron clad support is vital! 😬 (I’m the other half)
