Navigating relationships with your inlaws has traditionally been a fraught experience.

Recently, COVID and house prices has seen a surge in the number of people moving closer to family.

Marcus Pearce from Mullumbimby lives two doors down from his inlaws and joined Deborah Knight on Afternoons to talk about the benefits and how to do it successfully.
