Episode 5: “My mother-in-law buys my son too much junk!”

An anonymous follower and her husband are trying to teach their son to live simply by providing him with toys made of wood or fabric. However, Anonymous’ mother-in-law refuses to cooperate with the couple’s wishes. Instead, she continues to buy her grandson hundreds of dollars of noisy, plastic toys. She called her son and daughter-in-law “boring” and said that she wanted to be “the fun grammy.” From the angles of a spiritual director, trauma recovery coach, and life coach, Deanna, Erin, and Marge delve into what it means to honor our father and mother as it says in the Fourth Commandment. They give Anonymous advice on how to respond with integrity and honesty while standing up and saying “no” to the gifts.Send us your Mommy Issues questions at [email protected].
