It’s hard for women to enter another woman’s territory and with most saas-bahu relationships, that’s the real trouble. In order to avoid these zonal issues that can complicate things in the future, we help you get along with your mother-in-law and strengthen your bond. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could tell your future mommy-in-law these things? Go ahead and do it!
1. We’re in this together
Hello mom, I know it’s a bit awkward but this is as new for me as it is for you. Me in a new home, and for you, a new person in your home – see the difference? There isn’t much.
2. Been there, done that
I know, I know you are a master at what you do. That’s so cool! But then, I’ll find my way too… Just give me time, please.
3. Your son is still your son
That’s never gonna change, sacchi…so stay calm.
4. And he is my husband too…
I truly love him and would do what it takes to keep him happy. He will always be my number one priority.
5. I am not here to compete with you
A mum is a mum and a wife is a wife, sure you know that, so let’s not jostle for space here.
6. Don’t worry, I know when to wear what
I am aware of what not to wear in front of elders and what to wear when I am out with my husband – you don’t need to worry, I got this.
7. I respect you already
For raising such a fine man. You’ve done a great job mommy! Hats off!
8. Nothing will change my love for my parents
Certainly not marriage. Just as your children love you to death, my mum and dad are an awesome set of people, without whom, my life is nothing. Sure you’ll understand.
9. Give me my space
And some room to adjust. Everyone needs that.
10. I am proud of my achievements
It’s taken me a years of study and work to accomplish what I have. Please acknowledge me for who I am at work too.
11. Let’s agree to disagree
Every individual is different and is entitled to have an opinion. Let’s not have any qualms about it or force our opinions on each other. #mutualrespect
12. Let’s be friends
Trust me, I’m cool and I’m sure you rock too!
13. I am not perfect…
But just like you, I’ll get there. Pakka promise!
