Love this advice Maggie! We finally decided in the last couple of years it’s a No for us and we felt such a weight lift, even when we said it out loud to each other! And then this year I maybe got a little too drunk and told my dad and his response was “yeah, I’m not surprised.” 😂 Mothers and sisters-in-law are a different story, but we’ll get there.
