I noticed that RH is a really good role model, and I (as well as all the rest of the single girls here on GS) really look up to her and want to be like her. Yes, the world would be a far sadder place without her.
Some things like the caring and sharing you experience, makes me want to marry
But most other things like MIL and habits and compromise and :hinna:, scare my bones
-Cooking is a mandatory requirement not an option!
-Don't get on your SIL bad side
-If your saas gives you jewelry and you think its ugly, pretend to like it
-Romance goes down the drain after the lovey dovey phase is over so don't get your hopes up (in most cases) :(
-You can't force him to spend time with you....he has to want to....
And i think having a sense of humor tends to make things go smoother...
U guys are right and make excellent points…but at the same time I see single girls pitying or looking down on marreid women, thinking that they are smarter than them and that they won’t make the same mistakes, which I think is a wrong attitude to have. There’s a lack of respect..
Totally agree with this list … but ill add a couple more to it.
let small stuff go that bothers you … but stand up for yourself if you feel like you are getting walked all over
If your MIL says something that irks you, don’t get mad at her or ignore her… rather reply back in a super honey sweet kind tone with a quick witted comment (Reha is the best at coming up with these!!! note: ask her for advice if this situation ever arises. HAHA)
having super high expectations about anything isn’t really that smart
respecting and treating your inlaws as your own parents goes a longggggg way in having smooth family dynamics
jumping to conclusions and blowing up is never good. Trying to understand where your hubby is coming from when he has a request or asks something or wants something and then compromising, compromising, compromising is WAY better…
