Still Talking About It

21 - Still Talking About… "Yes Ma'am" Moments


Listen Later

This week, Janelle is talking about a concept she shared online recently… "yes ma'am moments."

What does it actually mean? And why does it seem to hit such a nerve, especially when it comes to in-laws?

Janelle breaks down the idea of accepting feedback or instructions without pushback, and how this shows up in family dynamics, particularly once you have kids and step into your role as the decision-maker. Whether you're talking about safe sleep or how you feed your kids, some things just aren't up for debate… even if other people (ahem your in-laws) don't agree.

The episode also gets into what happens when boundaries are ignored in smaller, more subtle ways, the kind that build up over time, and how to decide whether setting boundaries will actually improve the relationship… or just make it more tolerable.

For more mother-in-law content, make sure you're following Janelle on Instagram and TikTok.
