Establishing boundaries

Serious question…how do you establish boundaries with in-laws who ask you incredibly personal and nosy questions every single time they get you alone?

With friends and family, I can tell them to shut up and mind their own business ; can’t exactly do that with my in laws.

Re: Establishing boundaries

It's simple, you tell them your not comfortable answering the question.

If someone want to complicate things, even picking up cup and drinking Tea is complicated :chai:

else, life is easy…

Re: Establishing boundaries

Yeah, I try to do the passive aggressive thing by not answering but she's just like "hain? hain?"

Okay I'll admit, I'm kind of a wussy.....anyone else I can tell them to not ask me but wiht her....I can't be that blunt.

that and she ahs a crappy habit of twisting words around, that's why I try to say as little as possible to her and only talk in front of others...never alone.
