I'm really looking forward to your follow-up post.

Wow, that's a pretty difficult ...Hi Stephanie. Wow, that's a pretty difficult situation you're in. My MIL had the opportunity to go to university in the UK, so her English is great. Are your in-laws in Canada or abroad? I'm working on a follow-up post about the additional issues that come from having in-laws of a different culture.<br /><br />It's really just been recently, a year after marriage, that I realized that I am a daughter-in-law. I'm still in the learning process of what that actually means!

I've never given much though...I love this post. I've never given much thought to the fact that I became an in-law too and what you wrote inspired me to so some reflecting on what kind of a daughter-in-law I am ... unfortunately I think I've been a pretty terrible one! My mother-in-law speaks no English and I speak no Mandarin so communication is hard. I think I've used that as an excuse to be absent and not try to engage with her or establish any kind of real relationship with her. Shame on me! That's definitely something I need to work on. Wish I could share wisdom with you but I'm just learning too. Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109384085129609716noreply@blogger.com
