My in-laws are very insecure. They are always sulking about my husband not giving attention to them, whereas he is a good son. It stresses him and ultimately us. Also if I make efforts to be in regular touch with them, they get too interfering. What can I do?

Hey Chetna, looks like we can never have enough in-laws issues, right? Having experienced similar issues, I think you should try and talk directly to them. I mean, it is a little awkward, but nothing helps more than a direct and honest discussion. Ask them why they feel ignored or what, according to them, your husband should do to make them feel cared for. About you being in touch and them getting too interfering, do you think they get too involved? Sometimes, it could also stem from a genuine concern for your family. Do try and talk to them and I hope it helps.
