Mothers-in-law complain that their daughters-in-law are not good at this and that and are not filial, and daughters-in-law complain that their mothers-in-law are too much in charge and are too critical. The two sides fought fiercely and did not give way to each other, which is a real-life problem that often occurs to give men headaches. In fact, whether you are a high quality mother-in-law, or uneducated, domineering, careful mother-in-law, can not be separated from the family talk. And family talk is the easiest to communicate and exchange, so how to be a good daughter-in-law? To get along with your mother-in-law you have to coax her, you have to coax her with the most common household words.
1. You still look young
In fact, this phrase is appropriate for everyone, young and old, men and women alike. Of course for a woman, she prefers to be told that she is young, but she should pay attention to the scale and not over exaggerate, otherwise her mother-in-law will think you are false and must make her feel that you are speaking from your heart.
2. This dish you made is so good
Whether you are a chef, or a housewife in general, you like it when you have a good opinion of the dish she made. When you eat a meal at your mother-in-law’s place that she personally stir-fried, you don’t care how it tastes, it’s right to say that your mother-in-law must be very happy to hear it, but you have to match it with actions oh, that is, eat and eat your sincerity.
3. You look good in this dress
When your mother-in-law wears a dress that she thinks is good, don’t pretend you don’t see it, you have to say something like “you look good in this dress” to make her feel that you are paying attention to her and praising her.
4. Your grandson (or granddaughter) talks about you all day long
When you take the kids to see your in-laws on your day off, you can say this as soon as you enter the house, and your mother-in-law will be especially happy to hear that she has a cute little grandson who misses her every day and makes her feel hopeful.
5. That’s right
This is a very practical phrase to coax your mother-in-law. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that your mother-in-law has the right advice, and that she feels that you have her back.
6. You are too good at buying
This is also a very practical family saying, if your mother-in-law comes back from buying food or something, usually the daughter-in-law has to ask: “How much is this food a pound?” No matter how much your mother-in-law says, you say, “You’re too good at buying, it’s cheaper than what I bought.” It’s a compliment that she can keep house.
In fact, the elderly just need to be coaxed and praised in the normal details of life, people are like that, they always like to hear more compliments, and it makes them feel comfortable and happy.
I think the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be much better as long as the daughter-in-law is conscious of her concern and support for her mother-in-law. The key is to see if you put your mind to it.
