However, the next day's floor night exceeded my expectations. I was assigned to the floor of the living room by my mother while my parents continued in their bedroom.

I felt aggrieved. I have always treated my mother-in-law like a relative.
I replied categorically: "Mother-in-law, no need, I just have some special circumstances at home, and I will go back as soon as possible."

The mother-in-law's voice softened a little and said, "Child, I may be a little too anxious, I understand your difficulties, we can talk about it and find a compromise." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed. I know that's only part of the problem, but at least it's a good start. The days of returning to my parents' house became much more enjoyable. I tried my best to take care of my parents and meet my mother-in-law's expectations.

This experience of returning to my parents' home made me understand how important it is to have a balance between family and marriage. In the process, I also learned to understand and compromise, and no longer let external factors affect my emotions. Instead, I took the initiative to resolve the issue and sought reconciliation with my family. This is the most important element in family relationships and a universal principle in relationships.
