Family Conflicts

www.helium.com Essay: FAMILY CONFLICTS 1 5 10 15 20 Ever since I married my husband, I have nothing but family conflicts. My in-laws are the most selfish people I have ever met. All they ever do is think of themselves. They are so selfish that they accuse everyone else of being selfish. The conflict started when I found out I was pregnant with my son. My mother-in-law thought she had the right to dictate what I eat, drink, and even do during my pregnancy. Her logical thinking: She was not going to allow me to do anything to harm her unborn grandchild. Another conflict is we do not agree with each other. In these twelve years of marriage I have always been told that we will face God's judgment for anything we do or say that my mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law disagree with. My husband and I cannot even wipe our butts without being criticized by my in-laws. They tell us how to raise our son, they tell us how to spend our money, and they are always telling us how we need to be in church, but not just any church, a church they approve of. Yes, my husband and I can't even pick the church we want to attend. It has to be approved by his family. My in-laws are also know-it-alls. They think they have the answer to all the questions. My brother-in-law says he knows more about parenting than we do all because he read a book on parenting. And he is not even a parent. He doesn't even have the experience of being a parent. At least my husband has some experience. My mother-in-law is always pointing out every wrong thing my husband and I do, from parenting, to finances, even how we are living our Christian life. All the while, she can't even see the wrongs in her own life. No wonder. My mother-in-law is so busy pointing out everyone else's problems, she can't even see the problems in her own life. She thinks she is so perfect.
