Spilling The Gravy

1. MIL & DIL First Impressions – The Start of Something Real


Listen Later

Ever wondered what your mother-in-law really thought of you? Or what your daughter-in-law was secretly thinking at that first family dinner? In this premiere episode of Spilling the Gravy, we dive deep into our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first impressions—the awkward moments, first family dinners, and unexpected laughs that started it all.

We open up about:

  • Meeting the in-laws for the first time

  • Navigating family expectations and Italian-American traditions

  • The pressure to “get along” in modern families

  • Why we’re breaking the typical MIL/DIL stereotypes

  • And how our relationship grew into something real (and kind of amazing)

    Whether you're a daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, future in-law, or just someone with a loud family and a group chat you can't escape, this episode sets the tone for honest, unfiltered conversations about family dynamics, culture, and connection.

    🎧 Listen now to hear how it all began—awkward silences, pasta, and all.
