    • Parenting

Ever wondered how to survive the chaos of multi-generational living and get along harmoniously with your In-Laws? For Episode 4 of Up Past Bedtime, join Adrian and Bella, as they pull back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the hilarious of blending family lives under one roof. 
Listen in as we explore the financial and emotional intricacies of multi-generational living, discussing the delicate balance of sharing expenses and setting respectful parenting boundaries. The support we receive from our family network is something we don't take for granted, and we're diving into the stories that showcase both the positive and the challenging aspects of this arrangement. We also shed light on how these shared experiences resonate with our audience, offering an alternative perspective on the value of community support in family life.
Feel like you're the only one navigating the minefield of in-law interactions!? Don’t worry! Join us for a no-holds-barred discussion as we delve into some of our own listeners' HORROR In-Law experiences. We weigh in on the deep emotional journeys some of our listeners have shared, from dealing with toxic Mother in-laws to the heartbreak of pregnancy loss. We laugh, empathise, and sometimes cringe as we recount tales of your family dynamics.
