Customer Reviews

Bullseye!

This book hit all the situations that everything my fiance and I have been dealing with his parents. I thought I was being very stubborn in the way I'm dealing with his parents but reading this book, it advises that it's healthy to establish boundaries on when and where they'll have a say in our life.

Very Helpful!

My husband and I have both struggled with our relationship with his parents. We have stood strong in our union as a couple, but continue to have problems with them. The four of us are seeking counseling now, but this book helped me see their point of view on a lot of issues. It can help good relationships get even better.

ON THE MONEY

Ms. Bigelson provides great insight for those having problems with their in-laws. This was a great help. My family and my in-laws are very different and this book really helped me get over the rocky start to our relationship. Since my mother-in-law and I have become closer recently, I told her that I had read this book. It turns out that she had read it as well. This book really helped us develop a great relationship. I highly recommend it.

biased and opiniated

Written with the viewpoint that in-law parents are the people who make trouble. Not always true. We now have a generation that lacks self control and courtesy. Counseling may have done more harm than good to our culture.
