1. Communication and understanding: Communicate openly with your husband to understand his thoughts and attitudes. Next, have a calm conversation with your mother-in-law, expressing gratitude for her desire to live with us, while clearly stating the current family situation, lifestyle habits, and potential challenges. Listen to her needs and expectations, and explore together how to live together while respecting each other.
2. Establishing living rules: Based on consensus, jointly establish rules and habits for family life, such as work and rest schedules, division of household chores, and use of public spaces. Ensure that these rules take into account both the habits of the elderly and the needs of modern life, promoting harmonious coexistence among family members.
3. Create a comfortable environment: According to the preferences and needs of the mother-in-law, make appropriate adjustments to the home, such as adding handrails, adjusting furniture layout to facilitate movement, or setting up dedicated rest areas to make her feel comfortable and at ease. At the same time, encourage her to participate in family activities such as cooking together, taking walks, etc., to enhance relationships and reduce barriers caused by different lifestyle habits.
