Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Come up with solutions with your spouse. Respect her different viewpoints. Use humor Work through your own feelings about your mother-in-law.

Answer: Telling your spouse is vital; if your spouse has no idea how you're feeling, they may put you in situations you'd rather not be in. Find an opportune time to sit down together and talk through the issues in a calm way. Let them know what’s bothering you and what you’d like them to do about it. Your spouse may be better suited to talk to their mother for you.  Don't be surprised if your spouse refuses to "take sides". They love both of you, so taking sides can put them in a difficult situation. Ask your spouse to talk to their mother about things that bother you. She might take the discussion better when it come from their own child. Even if you don’t agree with what she has to say, listen to your mother-in-law. Don’t immediately write off what she has to say. Hear her out (even if you feel  it’s ridiculous) and let her know you’re listening. You don't have to agree to anything.  Respond neutrally by saying, “Okay, I’ll consider that” or, “Thanks for your input.” If she puts you in a difficult position, defer to your spouse. Say, “I don’t want to answer right away. Let me talk to my spouse first.” . Deflecting criticism or other awkward interaction with humor can deflate conflicts and put everyone at ease again. Whether the situation seems tense or she’s making things difficult, a little humor can go a long way. For example, if your mother-in-law is complaining about the weather, reply with "Well, at least it means we don't have to sit indoors complaining about how cold it is!” Are you able to put yourself in her shoes occasionally and see just where some of her so-called interfering or judgmental behavior comes from? She values the person you're married to, so there must be something good inside her!  Keep in mind that whatever your feelings, your mother-in-law remains one of the most important people in your spouse's life. Be sure it's not your own untamed jealousy causing problems. If your relationship with your mother is strained or difficult, consider if that is affecting your relationship with your mother-in-law. Remember that they are different people, and you can have a different relationship with each one.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add the turn after you complete a set of steps. Keep holding hands but release each other’s shoulder and bicep. Turn on the 2 quick steps if you’re following. Return to your dancing position on the slow steps.

Answer: Turns go at the end of a quick, quick, slow, slow set. After you complete a set, the lead will twirl the follower. The turn will replace a set of steps so that the pattern of the dance isn’t affected. You and your partner will hold hands throughout the turn. However, the lead will remove their hand from the follower’s shoulder blade, and the follower will let go of the lead’s arm. As you turn, raise your joined hands so that it will be easier for the follower to twirl. It’s okay to temporarily release each other’s hands during the turn if necessary. Don’t twist your wrist as you turn. If you’re the follower, quickly turn as you count out your quick, 1 beat steps. If you’re leading, take 2 quick steps forward but make sure you’re giving your partner enough room to turn. It’s still up to the lead to keep the dance moving forward at the right pace. After the turn, get back into your dancing frame. Then, take 2 slow steps to complete the set. Continue into your next set of steps.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a car seat based on your child’s age, weight, and height. Pick a spot in the backseat. Check the seat's fit. Secure your child in the seat.

Answer: To provide the most protection, newborns should always be in a rear facing seat. Until they're at least a year old and potentially up to age three, a rear facing seat is an option. Move up to a forward facing seat for older infants and toddlers.  How long to keep your child in a rear facing seat will depend on its height and weight, as well as the manufacturer’s specifications. Experts recommended keeping your baby on a rear facing seat as long as possible. Use one until your child reaches the upper height or weight limit set by the manufacturer. Some car seats are all-in-one, starting out in the rear facing position and converting to forward facing when your child is available. Check the owner’s manual for  instructions on how to convert your seat. Child car seats should always be positioned in the backseat, never the front seat. Many drivers like to set them behind the drivers seat to make it easy to check on them from the rear view mirror, without turning their head. Once installed, the car seat base should not move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in any direction. Whichever kind of car seat you are using, always pull on it a bit in all directions before placing your child inside. If it seems to move too much, tighten any straps or belts that are too loose. After placing your child in the car seat, place the two straps over their shoulders and buckle them at the lap harness. Buckle the chest clip and make sure it stays at armpit level. Tighten the straps until you cannot pinch any extra material on them at the child’s shoulders.  Make sure the straps are not twisted. The correct way to tighten the straps will depend on your model of car seat. Most have a place to pull on and latch the strap. Check the manufacturer’s instructions if you aren’t sure. For safety reasons, do not place extra material (such as a blanket) underneath the straps. If you want to cover your child, buckle them in first, then add the cover.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a question game. Refer to a magazine. Play the mirror game.

Answer:
You could turn the kissing problem into a fun game to camouflage that you’re really trying to change the way your partner kisses.  Ask questions such as, “How do you like being kissed best?” Or “what’s your favorite way to kiss?” And then describe your own answers.  The goal here is not to seem critical, but rather to make it clear you’re asking the questions to try to learn more about each other. It works both ways. Maybe there’s something your partner wishes you would change when it comes to kissing too. This will help you learn that! You could tell your partner that you read in a magazine about a new way of kissing and ask if you can try it.  Make it sound like it’s a fun experiment or adventure. Say something like, “In the magazine, they mention that you should try to kiss gently, and without using too much tongue. It might be fun to try that.” Keep it lighthearted, and tell your partner that you read this in a women’s or men's magazine. Don’t make it sound like you were seeking out the information, though. In this game, you mirror how each other kisses. Don’t be critical, just suggest playing the game because it sounds fun.  Here’s how you play it. You kiss your partner a certain way, and then your partner has to kiss you back in exactly the same way, and so forth. You could say, “I love kissing you” before you play the game to put your partner in the right mood. Your partner should be able to figure out how you like to be kissed through playing this game.
