Disagreements with in-laws are immature- grow up!

We were brought up to respect our elders, to greet them politely and give up our seats if we saw them standing. We did not complain when our parents served guests the choicest meals on porcelain plates that we were not even allowed to touch.

Neither did we whine when these guests took up our beds and we had to spend the night huddled together on a mat spread on the sitting room floor. We never addressed adults with their first names especially if we knew their children by name and we politely vacated the sitting room after greeting them so that they would have quiet conversations with our parents.
