Navigating Family Boundaries in Our New Home

Just a week after moving into our new home, my mother asked if she could stay with us for two nights. It’s our first real chance to settle in as a couple, and honestly, I’m torn. On one hand, I want to welcome her and share our excitement. On the other, I feel protective of this fresh start with my wife—our space, our routines, our time to bond. Balancing family closeness with the need for boundaries is never easy, especially when emotions run high. Has anyone else faced this kind of situation? How did you handle it? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments below! #FamilyBoundaries #NewBeginnings #ParentingJourney #HomeLife #RomanticRelationships
