Seeking Advice on Handling Difficult In-Laws
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out because I’m in a bit of a bind and could really use some advice. My son-in-law, Matthew, is a wonderful guy who works incredibly hard to support his family. However, his parents, Eugene and Ruby, are quite difficult to deal with. They have some behaviors and attitudes that I find troubling, and I’m worried about the influence they might have on my grandson, Vincent.
I love my grandson dearly and want the best for him, but I’m concerned that Eugene and Ruby’s negative traits might be passed down to him. I know genetics isn’t everything, but their behavior and values are not something I want Vincent to emulate.
Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation? How did you manage the relationship with difficult in-laws while protecting your children from negative influences? Any advice on how to handle this delicately would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best,
Evelyn
