How to Overcome Conflict with Your in-laws (1)
>> Sep 3, 2009
Actually, I still have other tips on how to build good moral character of your child; but I’d like to keep it for later. Now I want to discuss another topic. Let’s talk a little bit of marriage life here...Husbands and wives, marriage life could be so complicated, right? As happens in many countries, a marriage unites and involves two big families. With this condition, conflicts may happen and it can influence your marriage life. Similar with the relationship between you and your mother/father in-law; having trouble with your in-laws can tend to be a sensitive problem that can pull your energy and mind.
Living together or living near with in-laws sometimes can’t be avoided. You may still stay at home of your mother/father in-law; or you live in the same cluster with your in-law; or your in-law stay at your home. It can be enjoyable cause living near with relatives means there are someone that can be asked for if you need a help.
But, on the other side, you may have troubles with your in-law’s behavior. From the small thing such as borrowing your goods until money problem; can tend to be a conflict. If it doesn’t overcome seriously, this friction can threaten your marriage life. How to overcome the conflict? I’ll mention some tips from Adriana Ginandjar, a marriage consultant and a lecturer of Psychology Faculty of Indonesia University:
Overcome your lazy in-law.
All complaints can be settled if there are already clear rules since the beginning. This agreement has to be obeyed by all occupants; ex: the rule on distribution of house tasks. You must learn to be assertive. Don’t allow your in-law’s bad habit. Don’t do anything can be meant that you agree with his/her behavior. Take action and settle the problem soon. Ask your in-law to discuss the situation and find the solution together.
Your in-law love to borrow your things.
It’s okay if she/he always returns it; but what if there are none of your things being brought back to you? It can make you annoyed because you won’t be comfortable to ask your in-law to bring back your things. To overcome this situation; always ask when it will be returned before you lending out your things. You may also say that he/she doesn’t have to bring it back by her/himself; your servant will take it later. You can also give little signs on your things to avoid being claimed by your in-laws.
As long as you’re in the right position; it’s fine to act distinctly, but still respectfully. Even your neighbor is your relatives; the tolerance of living together should always be applied. It can’t be allowed if someone comes in and out of your house to take your things without permission.

Thank God, I've no problems at all with my in law, sis. Since my husband is the youngest son. We live in our own home and my mother in law lives in her own too (my father in law has passed away 20 years ago). We visit my mother in law every Saturday afternoon and give her a chance to play aorund with her youngest grand daughter. I think this is a healthy way to keep our relation ship fun..
Sebenarnya yg terpenting sikap kita dlm menanggapi sebuah konflik. Apalagi konflik sama mertua. Karena mertua juga orangtua kedua kita setelah berumah tangga...

Yup bener,pilihan untuk tinggal sama mertua ada baik dan buruknya. Dan pilihan mana yang harus kita ambil? Tergantung dari pribadi kita dan mertua kita,jadi kita sendiri yang tau baik dan buruknya. bener nggak ya? Soalnya aku belum nikah. :)
