WIN OVER YOUR IN-LAWS: SOME WAYS TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION

A couple meeting each other and falling in love is pretty magical on its own. Then there comes the time when they meet each other’s family. Make the wrong impression and it will very well follow you the rest of your life.

So How Do You Win Over Your In-laws? follow These Tips Below:

1. Be Polite:

This works in most social situations and it works well here too. Be kind and nice to them. Say your please’s and thank you’s. Show them respect and they’ll certainly appreciate it.

2. Compliment Their Son:

You’d be hard-pressed to find a parent that doesn’t want to hear wonderful things about their kids. Now you probably know him as much, if not better than they do. So talk about how smart, kind, hardworking, etc their son is and you’ll warm their hearts.

3. Share Things About You:

To win over your in-laws, you should talk about you. The simple fact is that these people want to learn more about who you are and they may not be the ‘drill-you-with-endless-questions’ kind. So, volunteer some information about yourself.

4. Ask Questions:

People also love to talk about themselves. So have some questions prepared about the family and maybe even ask how your man was as a child. These are great conversation-starters.

5. Avoid Heated Topics:

It’s best to steer clear of conversation topics that could lead to an argument such as politics, tribal differences, etc. Unless you are sure they are on your side, it’s probably better not to talk about it at all.

6. Smile:

It’s kind of hard to be mad at someone who smiles a lot. So, to win over your in-laws, don’t be stingy with your smiles. It automatically makes you more approachable, kinder and even more beautiful.

It’s hard not to be nervous about meeting the in-laws. But the important thing is to be yourself and make sure you get to know more about them.
