been away for a bit… so my mil just showed up at our place yesterday without telling us, and i’m still trying to process it. kenji’s 9 months now, and i feel like we’re finally getting into a routine.
but then she just appears, and it’s like, i don’t know, it feels like my space is being invaded or something. has anyone else dealt with this? i’m trying to be understanding, but it’s hard when i feel like i’m already struggling to keep up with everything.
i’ve been using a journal to track my thoughts and feelings, and it’s been really helpful in identifying patterns and stuff. anyway, i guess what i’m asking is, how do you set boundaries with family members who just show up unannounced?
