My Story: My mother-in-law is a lazy woman, she wants me to make tea for her after coming from office.

Expert’s answer

Dr. Rachna Khanna Singh, HOD of Psychology at Artemis Hospital, Gurugram. She says I feel very bad to hear that you are facing such a difficult situation with your mother-in-law. This is because when tension increases with a person in the family, it becomes difficult to live with him/her under the same roof.

However, I know that discussing such an issue is not an easy task, but I would say that you have to talk to him/her once.

The problem will be solved by talking

If you really want your mother-in-law to understand you, then you will have to talk to her directly. Tell them how their behavior is making you feel. You come tired from office. In such a situation, you cannot work immediately after coming home.

Not only this, take special care of your language while talking to your mother-in-law. Don’t talk too harshly. Not only this, establish your boundaries with them. If you want, you can also talk about this issue with other family members who are going through similar situations. his/her suggestion may be helpful for you.

seek help from a third person

If your mother-in-law’s attitude remains the same even after all your efforts, then you can take the help of a professional counselor. This is because sometimes problems in relationships become so deeply rooted that it becomes very difficult to correct them.

Not only this, during this time you also have to take care of your happiness. This is because these small things can affect your marriage. Not only this, if things do not improve, then you should limit your conversation with your mother-in-law so that you do not feel bad about anything she says.

If you also have a story related to relationships, which you want to share with everyone, then you can send it to nbtlifestyle@timesinternet.in. Your name will be kept secret.
