^ Well, if a girl is living w/ her in-laws then it makes sense that she adapt to their lifestyle than for them to adapt to her. So it is up to the DIL to change her habits to be more in line with how everyone else is. I know it doesn't sound fair but that's just how it is. It certainly isn't easy to adapt into a new home and the in-laws do have to be forgiving and patient and fair in the first few months. The key is to take things day by day, that's the only way it becomes more bearable.
