7 ways to make your in-laws extremely mad **People would say that if they knew first-hand how hard it is to be married and to have "monster" in-laws, they wouldn't consider marrying.** So for those who have good in-laws, "IKAW NA, SANAOL!"...Not that I am not lucky with my in-laws-to-be, in fact, I am. I am happy that **my mother-in-law was hands-on with my daughter when I gave birth and that my father-in-law supported us physically, as our driver, and financially when my partner stopped working.** I do hear stories about couples who got separated because of their in-laws and it's sad to think about it. I know they have their reasons. For me, if a child marries, then all a parent could do is support and respect their child's decision- not intervene and break them apart. Except when the daughter or son-in-law is not psychologically fit to be a partner, dad, or mom, or if she or he endangers the family-that is a totally different story. **To the good in-laws, thank you very much for letting us love your sons and daughters, for accepting us to become a part of your family.** **If you've just lived with your partner and your in-laws or just got newly married,** you'll probably be in the dark or have clues about what to do, how to deal with them, etc. And **if you're looking for tips on how to make them extremely mad, these are for you:** *Look for a black candle, and go to the church every Friday and light it up and pray for them.* **NO!** That was a little witchy thingy. Here it is: Maintain the cleanliness of the house

*License-free from Unsplash* Most of the mothers-in-law I've met want a woman who knows how to clean the house, not someone who leaves her mess everywhere and thinks she has a maid. The mother-in-law needs to be assured that you can take care of his son, so learn how to clean properly, especially the bathroom and your bedroom. Do household chores

*License-free from Unsplash* Of course, they need someone who can help them wash the dishes, or sweep the floor. If you don't know any household chores, it's time for you to watch YouTube or read on the Internet. You are no longer in your house- learn to adapt. If you can't be of any help, at least, wash your own clothes, especially your underwear. Learn how to cook

*License-free from Unsplash* You don't want their son or daughter to starve to death or else, your mother-in-law will live with you. Learn from your best friend on YouTube, or ask Gordon Ramsey or Nigella how to become the best chef in your house otherwise, you will have a nightmare when you see your mother-in-law's luggage on your doorsteps. On my part, my in-law doesn't want someone to conquest her kitchen so I let her be. She cooks for everyone so I am an exemption from the rule...Char...I would love to learn cooking if I only have my own kitchen. Make sure your kids are healthy and clean

*License-free from Unsplash* If you already have kids, just see to it that they are neat and clean. Kids play and stuff, they get dirty from time to time but check their ears and nails to see if they needed cleaning and trimming. Also, ensure your kids drink their vitamins and eat their food and snacks. You'll hear a lot from your mother-in-law's "machine gun" mouth if she sees you "neglecting" her beloved grandkids. Know your in-law's food weaknesses and treat them sometimes

*License-free from Unsplash* Gifts or treats don't have to be expensive. For example, she loves Cadbury Fruits and Nuts. Why not buy her one if you have some extra money? How about your father-in-law, does he like Empi Lights or Cornick? Give him "pasalubong" when you're from the mall. Those simple gestures will remind them that you also treasure them. Use your intuition, do not be "manhid" or apathetic When your mother-in-law keeps on talking about something like "mahal ng tubig"/ the water bills are too high, the electric bills are due, etc. and you are not giving any share to the household expenses, do your part. Don't wait for them to get mad at you. Do this if you are working of course. If you live with them, be responsible and give a part of your earnings. Be respectful, be wise, know when to talk You will not live in harmony with them forever with them and there will be times that your relationship will be tested. If you're right, just assert your point but don't force it on them. Most oldies are kind of proud, they won't accept your explanation even if you're right because it will hurt their pride. This is true, most of the time but you are lucky if your in-laws are open-minded people. Still, just be respectful and be humble. Even if you're mad, know when to talk and to keep silent. Believe me, it will save you from further trouble. Let the situation cool down before you attempt to make amends. If you win the lotto or sweepstakes, give them 1M or any amount you like

*License-free from Unsplash* They will definitely be extremely happy because you make their dreams come true or you will help them resolve a financial problem. You will be the apple of their eyes forever. This is just a joke :) But if you do win, why not share your blessings with them? Closing thoughts It is not easy to live with the in-laws or deal with them, especially if the mother-in-law or father-in-law or both, has an attitude. It will take some time for you to adjust, just be with yourself and treat your partner with respect and love, they will eventually fully accept you as a part of their family. **The title above is actually a positive one- you doing things that will make the in-laws extremely mad with positivity!** Do you want to add more tips on how to make the in-laws extremely mad with happiness or gratefulness for having you in their lives? Share your comments and let us talk about them! Before I end this article, I just wanna share with you guys, that **Lifepoints is legit**! If I only knew that they are legit, I should have registered a looong time ago. All you got to do is answer surveys and engage in the community for other perks. The surveys don't come every day but it's okay, sometimes they arrive frequently as well. You only need 100 points to redeem and you will be given choices for redemption. I chose 220 life points worth PHP200 Gcash. Not bad right? They said I will receive it within 5-10 business days, I think I received it on the 4th day. Just so happy having extra money by answering surveys for a few minutes.
