3 Communication Tips for Parenting Couples to Get the Support You Need
Today, I’m going to keep this short and sweet.
Last week, I talked to you about the role of grandparents in our lives and why it’s so important to communicate with your little ones’ grandparents about what kind of support you need.
They all want to be involved in their own way.
But sometimes they aren’t the type to jump in and handle things because they just don’t want to step on your toes.
Sometimes they are comfortable with jumping in to lend a hand, but they just don’t do things in a way that actually makes the burden of keeping up with it all feel lighter.
And sometimes, they offer suggestions or off-handed comments that don’t feel comforting, validating or supportive.
They mean well. They really do.
(At least, more often than not, this is true. And if this is not true in the case of your parents or in-laws, then we need to have an entirely different kind of conversation….)
So, today I’m taking this topic deeper by offering you a 3-minute video discussing 3 quick and simple tips for how to ask for (and get!) the support you really need from them.
Because I know it can be hard to ask for help. And it can be doubly hard when it’s family you’re dealing with. You don’t want to stir the pot or hurt anyone’s feelings.
You’re exhausted. The last thing you have energy for right now is unnecessary drama.
So, let’s get right to it. I give you: 3 Communication Tips to Get the Support You Need.
Check out the video and transcript below. And if you have deeper questions or need more help with trying to figure out how to communicate with your support people, let me know what you’re struggling with.
