Why do I have to stay at my mother-in-law’s house after the New Year’s Eve dinner at my mother-in-law’s house after I get married, and can’t I go back to my own home?

This is a custom that has been around for many years and is not easy to change!

If the mother-in-law’s house is not too far away from her natal family, we usually go to her mother-in-law’s house for a reunion dinner, eat dumplings, and watch the New Year together on New Year’s Eve!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can go back to your own home to rest, and then on the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is the Mother-in-law’s Day, the three of you will go back to your parents’ home with gifts, have a reunion dinner, and then go to relatives’ homes to pay New Year greetings. How many years has it been in China? Such is the custom!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to your mother-in-law’s house, but on the New Year’s Day, the whole family still needs to stay together. Respect the opinions of the elderly. This is also a kind of filial piety!
