Hello and welcome to One-Minute Family Advice. Today, we’re talking about a tricky question: what do you actually owe your in-laws? First, the basics: you owe them common courtesy and respect, but not unlimited free labor. As Vox reminds us, “no one is legally obligated to provide childcare, holiday hosting, or unpaid emotional support.” If you’re feeling pressure, try asking directly what they expect—and share what you can realistically offer. Expert Rachel Sussman notes that in-law relationships often suffer from “unspoken assumptions” about time and energy. The solution? Clear boundaries. You can say yes to grandkid visits but not every weekend. You can welcome dinner invitations without running a full catering service. In short, kindness and limits go hand in hand. Remember, strong families grow when each member negotiates roles respectfully—no guilt required. Thanks for listening to One-Minute Family Advice.
