What would you do if your mother-in-law sets rules?

As a daughter-in-law, you need to deal with the rules set by your mother-in-law appropriately:

1. Communicate and express yourself. The mother-in-law may set the rules out of good intentions, or she may go beyond the limits. You first need to communicate with your mother-in-law, express your feelings, and explain that certain rules make you feel uncomfortable and stressed. This allows your mother-in-law to understand your thoughts and make appropriate adjustments.

2. Strive for private space. You still need to live with your husband, and it is necessary to strive for a certain amount of private space. If some rules are too rigid and restrict your normal life, you need to make it clear to your mother-in-law and set appropriate boundaries. Your husband also needs to play a role in this and understand and support you.

3. Compromise and accommodate. Some rules come from your mother-in-law's good habits, and you can try to accommodate them. For example, meal times and work and rest times can be adjusted appropriately to suit them. This can make the mother-in-law feel understood and cared for, and can also reduce conflicts. But the premise is that these rules do not affect your quality of life.

4. Make your own rules. As an adult, you have the right to manage your own life. If you really can't compromise, you can also agree with your mother-in-law that you can decide on certain aspects of your daily life without being too restricted by other regulations. This requires your mother-in-law to understand your independence.

5. Move out. If nothing can be improved through the above methods and your mother-in-law's rules make your life unbearable, moving out is also an option as a last resort. But this should be a last resort, as it may cause a breakdown in family relationships, so think twice before doing so.

In short, if you are constrained by your mother-in-law’s rules, the first thing to do is to improve the situation through communication and expression. If it cannot be completely eliminated, we must strive for a certain degree of autonomy and adopt a compromise and accommodation method so that both parties can accept it. Relocation should only be used as a last resort option. In this process, your husband's role is very important. He needs to provide you with understanding and support, help you fight for the rights you deserve, and at the same time coordinate the relationship between the two parties, which is critical.
