Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro.
We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we got an email from a woman who was desperate for our help because she's had something in her house for nine days and could not get rid of it. What the heck? No matter what she tried, leaving the door open, shooing it with a broom, it just wouldn't go. And that something is her mother-in-law. I know. It's even scarier than the ring part two. Oh, wow.
And the worst part is it's caused an issue between her and her husband. Oh, what is not shocking. So we're going to try to assist during a brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Chapter 4: What advice do the hosts give to the listener?
It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's Awkward Tuesday Phone Call. We all have informal titles on this show. Like Alexis is our resident dog walker slash party girl. It makes sense. Jose is our resident video game expert slash professional napper. Yeah, watch me nap on stream. And Brooke is the poster child for getting along with your mother-in-law. She is.
There is not one person I know who beats Brooke in total grace, humility, and tact when dealing with the mother of your spouse. I appreciate that. And I appreciate that you're known as a guy that's never sarcastic. No. I love that.
Chapter 5: How does the listener feel about her actions?
I love that about us. Aren't we great?
We sure are.
Unfortunately, not everybody has that tight bond that Brooke does with her mom-in-law. And apparently that's the reason our listener, Abby, has reached out for help today. So, Abby, welcome to ILA, In-Laws Anonymous.
This is a safe space for you.
We're happy to have you here. How are you doing? I'm doing okay. How are you doing? Doing good. In-law issues, huh? I've never had them. Don't know if I can give any advice.

Chapter 6: What solution does the listener consider to mend relationships?
We'll see how this goes, but tell us about the situation you find yourself in. Well, I've been married for a couple of years now, and my husband is an architect, and he does periodically have to travel for work. Okay. But his most recent trip, he had to be gone for about two months. Oh, that's a long time.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
Like, no contact at all with him? He's an architect. He's not in the secret CIA or something. He could be architecting in the center of the earth. He could be architecting the new Pentagon, Brooke. I don't know what field of work he's in exactly. No, we were able to talk and FaceTime a little bit, but it's just in a different country, so it's not really feasible for me to come visit him.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Chapter 7: What is the outcome of the awkward phone call?
And it sucks when the time difference is so big. And they're on the metric system over in whatever other country, and I'm sure that plays a role in it. How many stories is this? I don't know in metrics. Yeah, so a lot of confusion going on there. So he was gone overseas is I'm guessing when the issues started. Actually, it was when he got back. Oh. Oh. Why? What happened?
Well, the day he got back, I was so excited, so happy to have him home. Yes. I bet. Yes.
Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned about handling family dynamics?
But when we got back from the airport, his mom called and she's like, hey, I'm on my way over. And we're like, OK, like nothing was planned. OK. Oh, she invited herself over to your place when he got home. I see. And you two were planning on making up for two months away from each other. Brooke, why are you immediately? Yeah, that's immediately where your mind went.
That's where I would have been. Oh, God. Tell us what happened with the mom-in-law. Well, when she got there, I thought, okay, like she's just staying for dinner. Like, cause I'm sure she missed, my husband's name is Keith. I'm sure she missed Keith too. Of course, it's her baby. Okay. Cause we usually see her a couple of times a week. She doesn't live all that far, but far enough. Yeah.
I recommend a whole state, but whatever, whatever you want. Short flight at least, right? But this makes sense. Everybody's excited to see Keith again after two months away. So you have dinner together. Yeah, we all have dinner together. And then she's like, oh, my bag is in the car. And I'm like, oh, I guess she's staying the night. Oh. Wait, she lives, like, driving distance to your house.
You see her a couple times? Sort of. Like, it's not super far. It's definitely drivable. But, like, she also can't really drive at night. Okay. Yeah. All right. So she stays one night. That's okay. She didn't stay just one night. She stayed for nine days. Nine days she didn't leave? Nine days of unannounced mother-in-law time, huh? Yeah. That's your favorite.
I want to know what your husband said to all of this. I mean, he was slightly annoyed because she just would follow us around. Whichever one of us was home, she would just follow us around talking and asking questions and like Oh, God, it was a lot. It was a lot. Nine days of that must be pretty taxing on you mentally. So what is so bizarre? You're like, when is she going to leave?
Right.
So what happened? So one night my husband was out. He's at the grocery store and she's following me around. And I'm just I'm at the end of my rope. I just I want to be able to hang out with my husband and like reconnect in all the ways. Sure. Well, what happened? I was trying to beat around the bush about when are you leaving and she wasn't getting it and I just got frustrated and
I said, you know what? You just need to leave. You've been here for too long. You just have to go. Oh, no. I mean, it's understandable. Okay, Brooke is applauding that.
Yeah.
