Coping with in-laws can sometimes be challenging, as it involves navigating relationships with your spouse's parents or family members who may have different perspectives, expectations, and dynamics.

Ways to cope with in-laws include: Communication, setting healthy boundaries, show appreciation and respect, be inclusive and involve them in life activities, practice empathy and understand, seek support from your partner, take good care of yourself

Remember, building a healthy relationship with your in-laws takes time, effort, and patience. It's important to approach the situation with an open mind, be respectful, set boundaries, and communicate effectively.

Based individual differences and family differences, share your experience with in-laws, give ways to cope with difficult in-laws.
From the word go, I made my stand clear. I’m not on a family support mission. Didn’t marry her to assume her family’s responsibilities. I attend their ceremonies and contribute the much I can. They do me same. Even paid school fees for her siblings and I settle them with some cash when ever they come visiting. But taking responsibility, naaaaahhh! Made it clear to wifey and I never share with her the support I give my own family. We communicate fine and the relationship has been good so far. It’s 11yrs and counting.
Bottom line is make yourself real, set your limits and make them clear. Keep cordial relationship but never let them push you beyond your capacity and will. You didn’t marry their offspring to start a rescue mission. C’mmon!!!

Forget them and don't always pay attention to them.


I don't know why poor in-laws are the one that always want to cash out from their daughter husband, especially when your face show and your shoes shine.

I think with learned in-laws, the wife's problem is half solved; but you see those illiterate in-laws that follow tradition like something else will frustrate the hell out of the wife. My opinion though

Even the educated ones are a tough nut to crack

I know my future inlaws will intially complain and dislike me but they'll eventually love me beyond imaginations by the time I packaged them 😂. I don't even know why people have problems with their inlaws, stop marrying pretenders only to start seeing their true colours in the marriage.
But there's a time u said you were a grandmother....


Now you're talking about an imaginary future in-law...
