Nauliza tu je kuna vitu maalumu ambavyo ukiviobserve vema vinawezatupunguzia hizi clashes?
Nini ambacho tunawezamfanyia mama mkwe/wifi ili tuishi nao kwa amani na upendo?
What are the limits inapokuja katika mahusiano yetu na hawa wapendwa
Are there any sacrifices ambazo sisi kama wake tunapaswa kuzifanya ili tuepushe migongano hii?
Kuna hii e-mail mama mkwe mtarajiwa aliituma kwa the bride-to-be, bahati mbaya ika leak kwenye vyombo vya habari last month. This is a true story (BBC - Newsbeat - Mum-in-law's critical email about bride goes viral). Inaweza kukupa mwanga vitu gani ambavyo mama mkwe hataki. Kumbuka signs za kutoelewana zinaanza hata kabla ya kuolewa (pale tuu unavyokuwa in contact na watu wa upande wa mume mtarajiwa) hasa ukizingatia sisi wanadamu tunapenda sana ku make assumptions and kuwa na prejudice pale tunapomwona mtu kwa mara ya kwanza.
An email to a bride-to-be from her future mother-in-law has gone viral on the internet. Heidi Withers was sent a list of rules by Carolyn Bourne, the stepmother of her fiance Freddie Bourne, after she visited the family home in Devon in England. The 29-year-old bride to be was apparently shocked to be told she acted "like a brash celebrity" and that she had a "lack of manners". So, she forwarded the email to her friends. They sent it to others and the message was forwarded around the world. So, here is the email.
From: Carolyn Bourne
To: Heidi Withers
Subject: Your lack of manners
WHEN you are a guest in another's house, you do not declare what you will and will not eat - unless you are positively allergic to something.
YOU do not remark that you do not have enough food. You do not start before everyone else. You do not take additional helpings without being invited by your host.
WHEN a guest in another's house, you do not lie in bed until late morning in households that rise early - you fall in line with house norms.
YOU should never ever insult the family you are about to join at any time and the most definitely not in public. I gather you passed this off as a joke but the reaction in the pub was one of shock, not laughter.
YOU regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should ask yourself why. No-one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash celebrity style behaviour.
I understand your parents are unable to contribute very much towards the cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with that except that convention is such that one might presume they would have saved for their daughters' marriages.) If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes.
One could be accused of thinking that Heidi Withers must be patting herself on the back of having caught a most eligible young man. I pity Freddie.
