Leaving the comfort of your house and moving into a new one can be daunting. It’s common for brides to feel uncomfortable in their new home in the first few weeks of their marriage, or even feel awkward around their in-laws. Here are a few easy tips that will help you bond with your new family.
TRY TO BE A PART OF THEIR LIVES
Just like you do, your in-laws, too, have hobbies and interests. Ask your husband about their interests and see if you can find common ground. If your mother-in-law enjoys baking, the two of you could perhaps enroll in a praline chocolate workshop.
Or, if your father-in-law loves old Bollywood movies, offer to source a classic and watch it together. Do not, however, go out of your way and do something just for the sake of it, as it’s bound to look fake.
