OMG! Working Black Friday in retail should help with boundary setting.
On a more serious note, the great thing about boundary setting is, when you have strong boundaries you need very few. But don't expect people to immediately respect them. You have to defend them because if people weren't boundary crashers, we wouldn't need to state boundaries (if that makes sense).
DO NOT expect them to fall in line and immediately aquiesce.
It's not your H's job to set your boundaries even with his parents. It might be nice if he helped defend them but we all need to be able to say what's damaging to us.
If you set boundaries with in-laws and he doesn't stand with you then that gives you more information.

I left out a very important word up there.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
