How to deal with your boyfriend's Parents

Everyone is praying for Mr. Right and if we found him, the next thing that we anticipate is to meet his parents and hoping they will like us in return. You might have a hard time with Mama and Papa but it doesn’t mean that you bring to a halt. This is a great opportunity to know what will please them and use it as your advantage. The first, second, and third meetings might be uncomfortable for you and his parents. However, in time, you will surely surpass this awkward stage.

First, do not ever compete with his family’s attention most especially with his mom.  Mother’s tends to be overprotective at times.  Needless to say, he only wants the best for his son. As the saying goes, “Mothers Knows best”. For now, she thinks that you are distracting his son in some ways; may it be in school, work, in achieving his lifelong dreams, and so many more. Reassure your boyfriend that you know where his parents are coming from and you are with him to give additional support and inspiration.

Second, if introductions were made, do not try to be best of friends with them in an instant. Keep your distance and be gracious that his folks are getting along with you. It takes time before your future in-law’s welcomes you to the family. As of now, they only see you as one of the “many” girls that his son dates. So don’t be too enthusiastic about this whole getting-to-know each other stage. It will come naturally in due course and you will realize that you do not have to overdo everything. 

Fourth, be sure to always be extra-respectful of your sweetheart when you are with their parents. This doesn't mean you should let your boyfriend or girlfriend push you around though. It's important that your sweetheart's parents see the two of you as equal partners in the relationship. No one should be controlled by anyone else.

Lastly, respect yourself.  You might have a hard time earning their approval so be civil about the situation. There’s no need for a rush. If you feel that in some ways that you are being pushed around, tell your boyfriend about it. He has the right to protect you as well and next time around, his parents might change their behavior towards you.

Parents generally want to see their children with someone they believe is good for them. Be sure to always be extra-respectful of your sweetheart when you are with their parents. This doesn't mean you should let your boyfriend or girlfriend push you around though. It's important that your sweetheart's parents see the two of you as equal partners in the relationship. No one should be controlled by anyone else.

My Speech about Rivalry of siblings

Sibling rivalry will always occur in a household of more than one child whether through comparison, fighting, jealousy, or by other means. Parents and children both contribute to the rivalry. It will occur on a daily, weekly, and even an hourly basis. Sibling rivalry may become difficult and annoying to parents, but they must deal with it day after day. In definition, sibling rivalry is when one sibling or more compete with one another or try to follow each other. Rivalry is different from fighting. It appears when children compete for their parents love and attention.

Sibling relationships can be a key to rivalry. An intense relationship includes love and hate, play and fight, and the teasing and mocking of each other. There are some questions on why certain siblings get along harmoniously and affectionately, while there are others that constantly fight. Siblings usually have a very harsh relationship when they are young. As they mature, they become better friends and start getting into fewer and fewer fights .Brothers and sisters sometimes work together to get through jams. Siblings occasionally team up to trick or get back at a parent in revenge. Aggression is very frequent in sibling relationships.

It is usually the older child being aggressive to the younger one, but the younger child may become increasingly aggressive as he/she grows. In one Canadian study, a family where the mother is very friendly to the second born at the eight month stage, the two children were very opposed to each other six months later. There are many siblings that take their aggression to the extremes and others who travel through phases of rivalry, then end in a close, loving relationship. Plus, not all rivalry is negative.

Sibling rivalry has many causes that both parents and children can bring about. Parents create rivalry problems by comparison and favoritism. They have to see their kids as separate individuals, and not compare them. The parents have to make sure that comparisons do not lead to them buying one thing for a child’s need, and then buying the same item for the other child even though he does not need it. There are certain types of comparison: positive and pressure. Positive comments can start problems between siblings. When a parent compares two siblings, it puts pressure in sports, school, and any other aspects of life on the younger child. Parents inadvertently play favorites with their children. The favorite child may not always be the cutest, smartest, kindest, or most thoughtful. It is natural to feel a preference to one child, and those feelings are probably obvious to the rest of the family. It is not humanly possible for a parent to love each child the same. Even if one of the parents has a favored one, they must not show it.

There are some techniques on how to deal with sibling rivalry. A family meeting is a good way to discuss problems. When you call a meeting, the parent must explain the purpose of the meeting. Write down what each child feels and read it aloud to both children. Allow each child time for a response. Then let everyone in the family suggest as many solutions as they can think of. Lastly, decide on the solutions that your family can handle. There are some other techniques to prevent rivalry between siblings. The parent should always send the instigator to his respective room. Holler at the older one and tell him to act mature because he should be an exemplary for the younger sib. Do not raise a hand to the children no matter how angry and annoyed the parent becomes.

Sibling rivalry is a big problem in homes all across Philippines and the rest of the world. It occurs day and night and is very difficult to deal with. Parents must be strong and willing to tackle this rivalry before they have children, and they must be mature enough to handle it. Parents and families are guaranteed to experience some form of sibling rivalry, so they had better be prepared.
