The Do’s and Don’ts of Interacting with Your In-Laws

Interacting with your in-laws can be a tricky situation. It’s important to remember that your in-laws are family, and you should treat them with respect. Here are some do’s and don’ts of interacting with your in-laws.

Do:

• Respect their opinions and beliefs. Even if you don’t agree with them, it’s important to show respect.

• Make an effort to get to know them. Ask them questions about their lives and interests.

• Show appreciation for their hospitality. If they invite you over for dinner or a holiday, be sure to thank them for their kindness.

• Be open to compromise. If you and your in-laws don’t see eye to eye on something, try to find a middle ground.

• Be patient. It may take some time for your in-laws to warm up to you.

Don’t:

• Criticize their parenting style. Even if you don’t agree with how they raised your spouse, it’s best to keep your opinions to yourself.

• Try to be the center of attention. Your in-laws may want to spend time with their own children and grandchildren.

• Make assumptions about them. Don’t jump to conclusions about your in-laws based on what you’ve heard from others.

• Take sides in family disputes. It’s best to stay out of any arguments between your in-laws and your spouse.

• Try to change them. Your in-laws are who they are, and it’s best to accept them as they are.

Interacting with your in-laws can be a challenge, but it’s important to remember that they are family. Showing respect and making an effort to get to know them can go a long way in building a strong relationship.
