    Oh my.... I am just like you (I love asking a lot of questions LOL) and I am so glad that my in-laws are so loving and so appreciative - a little does go a long way. I spent the last Christmas with them and I asked if they are okay with the dishes because me and the dishes are friends, you see but the mom's sister said if you want you can help with the dishes and if not, it's totally okay. Looking at my outfit, I was not in a position to help at all but they were cool about it, no hard feelings. I love both his family (paternal and maternal). I will step up my game next time though. Nice video babes

    The first time I meant my in-laws was at his graduation. I was having heart palpitations😅 but his parents were so friendly. His mum gave me a hug and that kind of calmed me down. So staying calm is really important, cause it wasn't bad at all!
    As for Malawi, you do have to give respect to your elders first before they can give you any irregardless of their mood that day. The tips are great!! Thank you.

    I didn't know I was meeting my mom in law the day I met her, but she was friendly and so so nice, she has been great till today.
    And with the kitchen I don't like dishes so I mentioned it on the get go, I can count the number of times I have washed the dishes at my in laws.

    Respect like you respect your parents....yoh some "other parents" really don't feel like you respect them when you respect the same way when you're with your parents...I mean you're more comfortable with your parents, and that same comfort around them may not appear the same as how it appears to your parents...

    I found the information very helpful since I'll be in same position at the end of July but now how do you offer help in situations like when you visiting a Zulu not so traditional family ...but also having to live up to the fact that Zulu culture says makoti doesn't set her foot in the kitchen before she lobola gets paid?

      Every house and every culture has its own rules. Talk to your Mom to guide you on this question and be honest as say I’d love to ask but I’m not sure if it’s okay for me to go into the kitchen. You can help in other ways. The beauty comes from an open heart and willingness to learn. It’s actually a good thing to admit that your not sure and keep guidance from your parents or future in-laws. That humility is nice to see
