I am teaching science in a government school. My friend Manju was teaching maths in our school.
Manju got married to a gentleman who worked in the IT sector. Manju's # mother-in-law was mostly on night duty. Manju was not able to come in time to school. Manju said to me, " Madam, there is a small #problem about our timings. My mother-in-law comes back home in the #morning around 4 am. That puts #stress on my day-to-day activity, I get up early in the morning to give my respected mother-in-law tea, etc. In this exercise I don't get full dose of my sleep. This mismatch in my and my mother-in-law's timings makes me report late to school. "
I said, "Dear Maju, there are situations in life when one has to set boundaries. For this problem, you must set boundaries and convey to your respected mother-in-law with all due #respect that I cannot get up before 6 am. If I do so every day, I will not be able to reach school on time.
Manju said, "I am so hesitant to convey this problem to my mother-in-law. I am #afraid she may not like this. "
I said, "Dear Manju, by setting boundaries to your #problem, you are respecting your mother-in-law, and at the same time, you are finding the way to reach #school on time. "
I said, "Dear Manju, my friend Radha left her government job after marriage, as her school was 3 hours away from her house. All this Radha did as she has set her #boundaries to her problem that she can't spend total of 6 hours travelling for her job".
Moral - In day-to-day life, every individual faces some problem or other. But one must set one's #boundaries to problems to make life straight and peaceful.
