After the last edition, I received a few beautiful, heart-warming responses from some people about their relationships with their in-laws. That just goes to prove that in-law relationships don’t have to be difficult.

Truth be told, some in-laws (not all), can be overbearing at times. It is not unusual to see some of them imposing their views on their children’s marriages, excluding their children’s spouses, being overbearing and generally meddlesome, either directly or indirectly.

Someone was driving me the other day. As soon as I got into the car, I fastened my seat belt unconsciously, as my custom is. He noticed and asked, “Are those Road Safety Corps officials out on the road today so that I can fasten my own seatbelt too?”😁

I replied, “I do not know if they are on the road today or not. This is my default setting every single time I get into a car, whether I am driving or I am being driven: I always fasten my seatbelt.”
