My husband and I are expecting — but after we asked our parents to keep it quiet, my mother-in-law shared the news anyway. So now we’re getting congratulatory texts from family we hadn’t told yet. How do I address this with her without causing a rift?
Whenever we go out to dinner with my sister’s family, her kids are a handful (think: shouting, throwing food, covering the table in stickers) and she acts like nothing is happening. How do I say something without seeming like I’m telling her how to parent?
My partner and I are taking a trip with two couples, and we’ve had it booked for months. Last week, someone invited a friend to join without consulting anyone. My partner thinks we should grin and bear it. I disagree. What’s a polite way to say something?
