Dave Willis describes the elitist in-law who acts superior based on education or culture, making others feel judged and excluded. He frames it as pride and argues families should celebrate the unique gifts people bring to the marriage instead.
Chapters
The 10 types of unhealthy in laws. The elitists. Oh yeah. And the elitists believe that they themselves or their own family culture is by far superior to everyone else's in every way that your family is different from theirs. You're going to feel judged and looked down on and not, not good enough. Like, oh well, everybody in our family, you know, we have, we're educated at this place or have this level of education. If you don't, then you're never going to measure up. It's score keeping to the next level because you feel like your way of doing things is the right way. And people mar into your family can never measure up to that just because they come from a different family. And it's, it's terrible because that's just pride. And the Bible has so much to say against pride, but it also, it creates a culture where no one can really ever feel loved and accepted into your family, which is heartbreaking. We can all learn from each other. Yes. And so celebrate. Celebrate the unique God given giftedness and personality and attributes of every person in your own family and those marrying into your family.
