A Blonde's Guide to Navigating the Tricky Inlaws

I always knew that life/marriage would be a balancing act but I had no idea how much balancing it would take. Inlaws are tricky. When navigating through the dangerous "no-man's land" of inlaws it is important to understand a couple basic rules:

1. You MARRIED into the family. You were NOT BORN into the family. There is a distinct
difference and you must never forget this.

2. The family has been doing things a certain way for at least 20 years and are in no way
interested in where you come from or how you do things. Despite what they may say, they
are not remotely intrigued by what you bring (from the outside) to the table.

3. Their baby boy (your husband) will always be their baby boy and it won't matter how long he
has been married or will be married, they will always believe that "they had him first".

These basic rules are extremely important and imperative that you remember them. The correct application of these rules will save you many tears, angry rants, and loads of frustration.

YOU'RE WELCOME!!
