How do we make our in laws respect the boundaries and follow the rules we have for our baby? My in law specifically, keep thinking they always have the rights since they are the elder ones and we need to share / show our babies to everyone

REPLY FROM EVONNE: I can understand how hard it is to assert your boundaries especially when you want to be still respectful to your in-laws. When you share your boundaries, you hope that your in-laws will understand and respect it. Firstly you might want to validate their feelings of pride for their grandchild. Share your understanding about their custom. Then, you might want to share your reasons for your boundaries and rules and how it makes sense for you and your spouse. It may be that you say that you wish for your child to learn about safety and boundaries too. Grandparents are important people for your children, and they can contribute in different ways.
