[quote=Anonymous]This all seems to be related to different people/families having different ways of doing things, and how we compromise when we join new families. My MIL says she loves me, and at first I was really flabbergasted and had no idea how to respond because it was so unexpected. Now I just say "love you too" and feel really awkward about it. She also kisses on the cheek at hello and goodbye, which I'd NEVER experienced and I still don't feel very good at responding to logistically. Basically, everything about those interactions feels a little foreign to me, but I'm making my compromise for family harmony. Other people make different choices. We all just have to decide what we feel comfortable with. I think some of the PPs who are offended at OPs awkwardness maybe just don't understand how uncomfortable it can be when their norms are violated. What's normal (and unspoken) in one family can be taboo in another, and there are varying levels in between. [/quote]
