"Contest: Who Deserve To Be In Front Seat- Mother In-law Or Wife?".

---

Who do you think should always share the car front seat with the man? Mother-in-law or Wife?

Source

Honestly, I think it should depend on the situation, but in reality, the wife generally has the rightful place beside her husband, especially if it's their car and they're going out together as a family or couple. The mother-in-law is to sit at the back in such a situation.

• What is your reason for choosing either?

The wife is the man's life, his companion and equal. Sitting in front doesn't mean disrespecting the mother; rather, it represents the partnership and unity in the marriage. The mother deserves honour and care, but the wife and husband from the new family unit should be prioritised.

With that being said, there are times when the man or wife may choose to let the mother sit in front out of respect, comfort, or cultural courtesy. The key to this is that it should be done willingly and lovingly, not as a battle or pride or position.

• Do you think this should be considered as an issue in the family?

No it shouldn't be an issue. It becomes an issue only when misunderstanding or ego enters the picture. A family that focuses on understanding and mutual respect rarely argues over things like this. The front seat in a car is symbolic of matters is peace in a family and not the position in a car.

• What is your advice to families going through this phase on deciding who should share the car front seat?

My advice is for families to communicate openly rather than letting gestures turn into a silent war. Also, families should show flexibility, which a wife can offer her seat sometimes to show respect to the mother. Finally, men should lead wisely, as a husband, you should handle with sensitivity, balancing respect for both women.
