I’m German We Don’t Do That Keep Calm Thing mug
Here’s a tip: Don’t spend your time wishing people behaved in a way that was fair or equitable, and feeling sore if they don’t behave in the way you expect them to. Focus on living up to your own ideals, and let other people live by theirs. Otherwise, you will become consumed by bitterness — and grow so accustomed to feeling that way that it will become part of your home, like unsightly wallpaper.
“ ‘Don’t spend your time wishing people behaved in a way that was fair or equitable, and feeling sore if they don’t behave that way.’ ”
No. 2: Do you not receive enough from your in-laws because you don’t ask for enough? Maybe. Maybe not. Does it matter? Do you honestly want to spend your life asking for stuff from your capricious in-laws, and play that game of take, take, take? We live in a messy world full of imperfect people. It’s a crapshoot. Say thank you when they offer you a gift, and smile when others receive a gift of their own.
You have achieved so much already: Your children have shoes on their feet, a roof over their heads and food on the table. Surely it feels better to have done it on your own. Is that not a stellar example to set for your children, and an empowering way to live your life? Every time your nieces get a new pair of shoes, light a candle and wish them the best of luck each time they put them on.
“ ‘Your in-laws have given you a gift: Your children can see that not everyone is treated with the same regard in life.’ ”
No. 3. Your in-laws have given you a gift: Your children can see that not everyone is treated with the same regard in life, even if it’s unfair or does not seem right to you. You and your husband can impart to your kids how important it is to make everyone feel valued and loved. Say, “Yes, Mary and Jane have new shoes, but we don’t measure our self-worth based on what is gifted to us.”
