Our family, this strange family full of contradictions and quarrels, seems to be caught in an endless whirlpool. Since my husband and I returned to this familiar and strange hometown, family conflicts have been surging like a tide, making people unable to breathe.
The quarrel between my mother-in-law and my husband echoed in this house like an old mantra. Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine through the window, the mother-in-law will start a fierce war of words because her husband does not eat breakfast and lunch. Her voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts. And the husband has an indifferent attitude and always responds with silence, which makes the mother-in-law feel angry and helpless.
At the same time, I also got into an argument with my son. He is still young, just the age of playfulness, and he is always perfunctory about doing homework. I tried to guide him to understand the importance of studying, but whenever I saw him absent-minded, I couldn't help but get angry. The quarrel between our mother and son swept through the family like a raging storm.
In this home, all five of us seem to be trapped under a spell from which we cannot escape. We quarrel over trivial things like eating, doing homework, and household chores, and the family atmosphere becomes more and more tense. We rarely quarrel over other things, as if these trivial things have become the whole of our lives.
However, in this quarrel-filled family, I also saw the truth and complexity of human nature. Although the mother-in-law often quarrels with her husband, her love for him has never diminished. She would make him a bowl of hot soup in the dead of night, expressing her mother's love in her own unique way. Although her husband is silent, at critical moments, he will always stand up and hold up a piece of the sky for the family.
The quarrel between me and my son also made me see his inner struggle and growth. Although he is playful, under my guidance, he is also trying to overcome his inertia and gradually become mature and sensible.
In this wonderful family, we may not be able to avoid quarrels and conflicts, but we can comfort and grow each other's hearts through understanding and tolerance. Perhaps, this is the true meaning of life. In this family full of quarrels and conflicts, we are all trying to find our own place and value. We try to release our inner pressure and dissatisfaction through quarrels and contradictions, and try to prove the meaning of our existence through these trivial things.
However, in the process, we have gradually come to understand a truth: the family is not a battlefield, and quarrels and conflicts cannot solve the problem. On the contrary, we should use understanding and tolerance to resolve conflicts, and use love and support to unite the strength of the family.
So, we started trying to change. The mother-in-law is no longer angry at her husband for skipping breakfast and lunch, but reminds him to pay attention to a healthy diet in a gentle tone. The husband also began to try to change his lazy habits, try to eat on time, do housework, and share more responsibilities for the family. I learned patience and guidance in the quarrels with my son, so that he gradually understood the importance and joy of learning.
Over time, our family gradually became harmonious. Although there are occasional quarrels over trivial matters, we can quickly resolve conflicts and make the family atmosphere more harmonious. We understand that quarrels and conflicts are not the whole story of family life, but rather the catalyst for our growth and progress.
In this wonderful family, we may not be able to get rid of quarrels and conflicts, but we can make the family more beautiful and happy by changing ourselves. We believe that on the basis of understanding and tolerance, we will be able to create a loving and warm family together.
