When offering tea to their parents-in-law, they officially address them “Dad” and “Mom”. Then their dad and mom give them red envelopes that contain a certain amount of money. From then on, they can’t address their parents-in-law “uncle” and “aunt” any more. However, some girls feel awkward when addressing their parents-in-law “Dad” and “Mom”. A girl in Wuhan couldn’t address her parents-in-law “Dad” and “Mom” after she got married for one month. Why? She couldn’t overcome her psychological barrier. For her, her own parents are her dad and mom. They spent all their lives to raise her up. Her parents-in-law can’t challenge her parents’ place in her mind. Her husband quarreled with her several times for this reason. The relationship between her and her parents-in-law was affected too. How do you address your husband’s parents?

If the man treats his wife very well, his mother-in-law will do the same thing in return. If her daughter didn't get married with him, the daughter's mother wouldn't have established a relationship with him.
