Nguyen Thi Hong Ha (born in 1997, from Thai Nguyen ) got married in 2023. She has been a daughter-in-law in Hanoi for 1 year.
Ha admitted that before getting married, she was very worried about living with her in-laws. But she did not expect her life as a daughter-in-law to be so smooth and lucky. Over the past year, she has always received good things from her in-laws.
Ha will return to Hanoi as a daughter-in-law from 2023
Ha said her in-laws have a "5 no" rule: Do not accept living expenses from the children; The daughter-in-law does not need to wash dishes; No babysitting on Saturdays and Sundays; The daughter-in-law does not need to close the door when going to work; The mother-in-law prepares lunch for the daughter-in-law, no need to eat out.
“What I shared is 100% true. Actually, there are many more good things about my in-laws, I just chose 5 more special things,” Ha said.
After getting married, Ha and her husband agreed to contribute monthly living expenses, but her husband's parents refused to accept it. Because they had a pension, they were willing to take care of the family's living and food expenses, so that their children could save for the future.
Ha is an office worker, her job is quite busy. Every day when she comes home from work, the clock strikes 6-7pm.
Ha's mother-in-law stays home to look after her grandchildren. When her daughter-in-law comes home late, she takes the initiative to cook, do housework, etc. Even when washing dishes, Ha's parents-in-law help her. After dinner, she just plays with her children.
“When I first got married, I was very shy about letting my parents cook and wash dishes. However, my parents were very happy with this. After a day away, they wanted me to spend time playing with the children,” Ha said.
Ha is always grateful for the good things her parents-in-law give her.
Thanks to her mother-in-law's help with childcare, Ha and her husband can work with peace of mind. But her mother-in-law only looks after the child from Monday to Friday, leaving the weekend to Ha.
“My house is on the street, and my husband’s grandmother’s house is in the alley. Every weekend, my mother-in-law will go in there to garden, raise livestock, etc. Usually on the weekends, I will let my grandchild go to his grandparents’ house to play so as not to bother his grandparents.
My husband's parents said that every time I go to my parents' house, I don't need to ask for permission, I just need to let them know," Ha shared.
The warmth of her husband's parents touched Ha.
Ha's husband's house has two doors. Every morning, she has to open the door, drive the car out, get out, close the door, and then go to work.
Seeing that, the father-in-law took on the task of opening and closing the door for his daughter-in-law to save time. Ha said that every night when she came home from work, she only had to honk the horn and her father-in-law would be there to open the door for her to drive in. From such small things, Ha felt extremely lucky.
“My mother-in-law usually wakes up at 6am to cook breakfast for the whole family. Since I became a daughter-in-law, she has proactively prepared more food for me to take to lunch.
Every day at 8am, my mother prepares my lunch box, I just need to bring it. The food my mother makes is delicious, clean and healthy,” Ha said.
In addition to the "5 no's" rule, Ha also received many other good things from her in-laws.
Her father-in-law loves his children and grandchildren and does not hesitate to do any chores, including cleaning the house and taking out the trash. Her mother-in-law is thoughtful and emotional and especially respects her daughter-in-law in raising her grandchildren.
“Another thing that touched me was that my husband’s parents were very fair and never sided with their son. In fact, in the few times my husband and I had conflicts, my parents were more on my side,” Ha confided.
The daughter-in-law said happily that her strong support system is her parents-in-law. Thanks to them as her support, her life passes peacefully every day.
