‘Father-in-law did not like me…’ 4 women told the dark truth after being troubled by their in-laws

My sister-in-law did not respect me

Priya from Bengaluru tells that my sister-in-law Neha did not respect me. She often criticized me for my lack of focus on work. However, one day I told him/her that I have managed my family along with my work. I did not concentrate only on my job. If I had concentrated only on my job, I would probably never have been able to keep the family happy.

After this incident my sister-in-law started understanding me. She started supporting me in managing the household and office. Not only this, I also tried to involve her in family activities, due to which our relationship changed completely. Now both of us not only respect each other but are also happy together.

I was fed up with my mother-in-law

Aditi from Delhi says that my mother-in-law was not good at all. She kept interrupting me every now and then. However, one day I talked to my husband Arjun, who slowly helped me set boundaries with my mother. After this incident I learned to remain calm.

This is because I understood well on which issues to talk to him/her and on which not. This is also the reason why things got better between us. My mother-in-law does it better than me now. We both also spend quality time with each other.

father-in-law used to compare

Sanya from Mumbai writes that my father-in-law often compared me with his/her previous daughter-in-law. However, when I lost my patience, one day I told him/her, ‘I don’t like the way you compare me with your old daughter-in-law. However, gradually he/she understood how to behave with me. This is also one of the reasons why our relationship changed with time.

Mother-in-law had a habit of troubling her.

Neha from Kolkata tells that my mother-in-law often used to say something to me for not doing all the household work. However, one day I talked to my husband Raghav about this, after which he/she divided the work between us fairly.

Not only this, I gradually set boundaries with my mother-in-law as well. I started understanding his/her decisions. She also started listening to me. This benefited both of us in that our relationship was not the same as before. We both started getting along well.
