Jennifer Kolari Discusses Managing In-laws Over the Holidays

|

kolari thumbnailThis week atĀ Kolari’s Corner on InfoMommy, Jennifer Kolari answers a reader’s question about managing the holidays with in-laws who disagree with her about how to handle her children and who do things she doesn’t like.

Jennifer advises the reader to depersonalize her in-laws’ behavior, recognizing that it likely has nothing to do with her. This will make it easier to enjoy the holidays. Jennifer also recommends that the reader prepare her children ahead of time so that they know her expectations and realize that even if things are done a little differently by her in-laws, the rules at home remain unchanged. Finally, Jennifer suggests that the reader enlist the help of her husband and in-laws to make the holidays go as smoothly as possible.
