After reading it, I suddenly felt that this is a simple life scene, and it is clearly a test of emotional intelligence and IQ!
Let's look at the picture of "not living with my mother-in-law", the mother is holding the child to stir-fry, there are many big dishes, and the movements are neat, at this time, she relies on the IQ of "fighting alone" - planning her own rhythm of life and straightening out the life of the small family.
Controlling the stove by yourself is like fighting on a familiar battlefield, and you can be comfortable with experience and habits, which is the intuitive embodiment of the wisdom of life.
Looking at the scene of "living with my mother-in-law", the pot has become smaller, the vegetables have become fewer, the top of the head is still on fire, and even the apron is dim.
At this time, IQ alone is not enough, you have to start the "EQ engine". Living with my mother-in-law, living habits and the concept of bringing a baby will inevitably collide, such as the pot is small, it may be that the mother-in-law thinks that "enough to eat", and the lack of vegetables is afraid of waste, behind these little things, there is the life logic of two generations. If you only rely on your own ideas, you will not be noisy and "your head will be on fire"; But if you know a little bit of emotional intelligence, listen to your mother-in-law's chatter more, and communicate in a different way, such as saying Mom with a smile, you are always afraid of wasting, but the child is growing up, let's cook more nutritious dishes, maybe we can put out the small flames and make the days "bright" again.
To put it bluntly, this painting is to remind us: to get along with our mother-in-law, IQ allows us to do things smoothly, and EQ helps us warm up our relationships. Life is not a black-and-white arithmetic problem, but a concerto of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that requires wisdom and empathy. People who can understand this layer, regardless of whether they skillfully resolve the small frictions of living together, or choose to live separately freely, are all smart people who integrate emotional intelligence and IQ into their lives.
