Janelle Riddle: Setting Expectations with Your MIL

EP459: Renee is back this week talking to Janelle Riddle, who recently went viral on TikTok for a post aimed at the complex (and sometimes toxic) mother-in-law/daughter-in-law dynamic. No doubt that this can be a tricky relationship to navigate, especially with the generational differences in parenting that exist now. But there’s always room for common ground, and of course this relationship can be perfectly healthy if there are honest discussions on both sides. Janelle talks about setting expectations and clear boundaries, especially during the stressful postpartum period, to maintain a good relationship. Tune in for some insightful chats about both women’s experiences with their own MILs and why social media has given them a new platform to share and heal from their experiences.
