1,001 stories of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Ms. Trang (39 years old, from Nghe An) still remembers clearly the confusion and strangeness of the first days as a daughter-in-law. The pressure of living with her mother-in-law made her gradually become less talkative, not wanting to share or express her personal opinions.

After 10 years of living with her husband's parents in Hanoi, the couple saved up to buy a small apartment so that the family could live more comfortably. Ms. Trang always kept in mind that "his mother is also my mother", trying to reconcile the conflicting views with her mother.

However, after giving birth, her psychology and emotions changed and she was unable to control herself and told her husband: "Tell your mother to go back to the countryside. I don't want to live with her anymore." The words accidentally reached her mother-in-law's ears. Through the mirror, she saw her mother-in-law silent, tears streaming down her face. That day, the grandparents insisted on going back to their hometown. She knew she was wrong and deeply regretted her behavior. During the months without her grandparents, Trang realized her mother-in-law's heart when she was always worried about her daughter-in-law and son working hard but living a frugal life, not daring to eat, wear clothes or go out on the weekends.

The generation gap and differences in lifestyle, but both mother and daughter tried to be patient without ever speaking up, causing misunderstanding after misunderstanding, pushing the relationship into tension.

Share frankly, understand the heart

Understanding his wife and mother's feelings, Mr. Hung became a bridge to help Trang and her mother resolve their differences and encouraged the whole family to discuss and give each other opinions frankly.

After some persuasion, the parents realized their son's intentions and agreed to go back to Hanoi. The 5-6 hour journey by bus made the parents feel very uncomfortable because the bus often ran continuously, rarely stopped for rest, and the parents often had to pee, afraid of disturbing everyone.

When hearing their parents confide in them, the couple was very happy that their parents had proactively shared health-related issues with their children. They remembered that a friend had introduced Diaper Pants - an adult diaper product for people who can still stand and walk independently but are starting to have problems with excretion disorders. They immediately bought the product for their parents to use and were very satisfied because the design was as thin and light as a regular pair of underwear but still absorbed well, helping parents feel comfortable throughout the trip.

Although they were able to bring their grandparents to Hanoi, they still blamed themselves for not paying enough attention to their parents' health, especially when they began to experience natural aging diseases in the elderly. With urinary disorders, Hung and Trang proactively sought out modern methods to help their parents live happily and healthily. In addition to buying nutritious foods and changing their diet and lifestyle, Trang also bought Caryn Diapers for her parents to use when necessary.

Both are important women in the family, although there are differences in generation and lifestyle, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only need to skillfully share all issues frankly to easily sympathize and understand.

On the occasion of Vu Lan festival, Ms. Trang also wants to send a small message to all women : "Daughters-in-law are like children in the family. As a family, if there is anything, the whole family must openly share. Any conflicts can be resolved if members know how to sit down together to discuss, listen and sympathize with each other . In particular, always take care, listen to the thoughts and wishes to understand what parents want."
