With parents

The main reason for misunderstanding in the relations between children and parents is the unwillingness of parents to reconcile that children grew up therefore they try to teach or sponsor them constantly. Let's consider councils how to adjust good relationship with each of parents.

With mother

Sometimes, that to the adult children living as separately from parents (and in one apartment with them), mother of one of spouses can give constantly a lot of advice how to arrive in any given situations, to call several times in day, nearly daily to come on a visit and constantly to criticize. You should not be rude, find out in that case with the mother or with mother of the marriage satellite of the relation with voices raised and to put ultimatums.

Only serious and straight talk can help with such situation (can, and not once): it is necessary to try firmly, quietly and in a valid form to convey information to mother that you have the family, you are full age people for a long time and you do not need serious guardianship. At the same time surely assure it of the love and respect that you appreciate everything that she for you made, but you do not need its management of the adulthood.

If this measure did not help, it is necessary to try to separate a little from mother, having applied some methods:

It is not necessary to answer at once each its call, and to accustom that you cannot constantly contact in working hours.
Try to curtail politely communication if you did not ask, and the conversation comes down to lecture and councils again.
You should not visit every day mother (if it does not demand daily care for the sick and aged parent) and also do not allow it to be every day at your place (such meetings are quite admissible once in a week).
It is not necessary to complain to mother of insignificant problems in the family and also on the marriage satellite, and try to solve them independently.

Whether you know? In German there is a phrase drakonye food — so guilty German husbands call pleasant trifles for the angered wives (spirits, box of chocolates or flowers) which they give them to make amends.

With the father

Old quarrels and offenses on the fact that in the childhood the father not especially was interested in you can be the reason that the relations with the father are not got on, your progress and achievements, and now realized the misses, instinctively began to reach for the adult child and to try to participate in his life. But now children, being adults, do not need overdue care any more.

If there is such situation, it is possible to arrive as follows:

Try to treat the father all the same with respect.
It is not necessary to raise on it the voice or even to shout, and it is better to listen, thank in a quiet key, but to do everything in own way.
Listen to opinion of the native person and be interested in his life, you benefit from it only.
It is possible to share with the father the thoughts and feelings, as with the senior companion.
Joint pastime with the father will be important: walks outdoors, trips to fishing, campaigns on different actions will help to strengthen the relations and will bring many mutual positive emotions.

We recommend to esteem how to adjust and improve the relations with the husband.

With the daughter-in-law

Here some councils for the mother-in-law always to have good relations with the daughter-in-law:

Try to find good in the woman who was chosen by your adult son, and focus more on positive, but not on shortcomings.
Reconcile to the fact that the conflicts are inevitable as people always argued for various reasons. Not the prejudiced view openheartedly of situations will help with the relations with the daughter-in-law to focus on a problem from all directions, but not on the person.
Do not consider the relation with the daughter-in-law a competition for your son: he loves both her, and you, and in it there are no contradictions. It is important to remember that the love takes different types, and the daughter-in-law legally takes the priority place in heart of your son.
Never it is necessary to criticize the daughter-in-law in the presence of the son and also do not support to his critic in her address: you can express a regret about current situation, but not develop this subject and not ask on details.
Talking to the son about his wife, correctly formulate thoughts, for example: It seems to me that to your wife it is awkward at my presence how you consider? What to undertake that she felt it is more weakened? Such formulation sounds more amicably, than: It me ignores all the time and does not want to talk to me.
It is optional to you to love the daughter-in-law, but to be polite — a key to good relations. If you tried all acceptable methods to arrange a situation, and the warm relations are not reached, just remain polite and quiet: in such situation it is difficult to bad relation to take roots if at least one party does not clash in reply.

With the mother-in-law

That with the mother-in-law there were always pleasant relations, it is possible to take the following advice:

You should not be suspicious of all advice which to you your mother-in-law gives.
Do not listen to stories by girlfriends and employees about their negative attitudes with mother of the husband, and build the own kind relations: wisely arriving, perhaps, in it you will set an example of the mother-in-law. Even if it does not happen, then you keep respect of the husband as you will not support manipulations and the exhausting fight for his priority relation.
It is impossible to attract children in the conflicts with the mother-in-law at all and also to manipulate them: it you will only achieve that they will distort idea of the correct relations in family.
Be loyal, generous and ready to forgive. Remember that there are no ideal people, and you treat the same number.
You carry out over yourself work on manifestation to the mother-in-law of respect at least for the reason that she is more senior than you and is more skilled, consider that each generation has the ideas of the family relations.
Do not behave hypocritically in the relations with the husband's mother, condemning her behind the back, and in eyes showing loyalty — it you do not show respect, first of all, for yourself.
Mother and the young wife, having become related, in advance wait for the conflicts and mutual misunderstanding as are in power of a stereotype: mothers-in-law cannot love daughters-in-law and vice versa. Who in such situation will show more wisdom and patience for preservation of peace, everyone has to solve.

Whether you know? In the ancient Roman family code treated a wedding as to the business contract, and the kiss of newlyweds upon termination of a wedding ceremony was equated to the press fastening it.

With children

So far small children, parents for them — the absolute authority. When the child reaches teenage age, owing to the fact that the organism begins to grow strongly, the child survives the hormonal storm, and emotions get out of hand. Therefore between parents and children often there are misunderstanding and conflicts. Parents think now that their, once darling and the loving child, does not show to them respect any more though it not so. To smooth all roughnesses, parents need to be ready to show huge patience and readiness to help.

Here some simple councils for communication with the teenager:

Give to the child reasonable freedom. The growing-up child often shows to parents that he already adult and can arrive irrespective of them. Parents in this case need to reconcile to the fact that he needs separate space (you do not come into its room, without having knocked; without the permission you should not take or touch its things; you do not bring the orders).
Quietly accept refusals of joint actions (visits of theater, etc.).
Be always open to communication. You should not press and impose the opinion, but at the same time and do not push away the teenager the indifference. Do not take offense if the child does not want to be frank. But when he will be ready to dialogue, find time to listen to him and to support.
Put trust. You should not condemn at once the child if he to you admitted something, and do not try to check everything and to forbid. If learn to trust, he will not begin to hide further anything. It is clear, that parents very much worry for the maturing son or the daughter. Therefore and tell them that very much you worry about them if they, for example, late come back from a party, and encourage that they periodically called you and reported that are alive-are healthy.
The praise inspires. Do not reproach and do not hurry to condemn the teenager for the fact that he, for example, is afraid to fail examination, and before it it was cooked seldom. You praise even for insignificant progress — it will give to the child of self-confidence and in the fact that you love him.
Make friends with his friends. Do not abuse friends of the children — so you will lose good relations with the child: he will choose them and will meet them secretly. It is better to invite friends to you home and to communicate in a friendly atmosphere as equals. If someone from them was not pleasant to you, do not discuss the friend, and only his acts.
Point to misses. Be not afraid that children will cease to love you if you is frank and in a valid form you will point by it to mistakes. If it is deserved, then reasonable measures of suppression always do well.
