Phuong Trinh Jolie speaks frankly about how to treat her mother-in-law, shocking everyone who hears it.

The "Sisters Untangling Problems" program, featuring Phuong Trinh Jolie, presented two touching stories: one about an elderly father feeling disheartened, and the other about an overly caring mother-in-law. Through these stories, the actress shared how to properly love and understand the elderly.

In the show "Sisters Untangling Problems," featuring singer-actress Phuong Trinh Jolie, much attention was drawn to the very real and relatable stories surrounding family relationships. Right from the start of the program, MC Phuong Uyen introduced the first letter from a female viewer who was feeling stressed about how to deal with her elderly father.

According to Ms. M, her father is over 70 years old, and while his health is generally good, his temperament has become increasingly erratic. In the family, the children usually pay more attention to their mother because she is frail and often ill. Whenever they go anywhere, the siblings proactively drive their mother, while their father, being healthier, travels independently. This unintentional difference makes the father feel "left out," leading to resentment and irritability. This leaves Ms. M very tired and unsure how to properly handle her father's situation.

After hearing the story, Phuong Trinh Jolie expressed deep empathy because she had experienced a similar situation in her family. She shared:
"I deeply empathize. I myself have experienced a similar situation with my grandmother in my family."
Older people are very sensitive and pay attention to every little detail. As they get older, they feel they are no longer valuable in the family, becoming a superfluous part. I find them both pitiable and lovable, so making my parents happy is something I should do.
In my opinion, we should help older adults expend energy by organizing family gatherings, encouraging them to participate in community groups, and socializing with people their own age.

According to the artist, it's important to make older people feel that they still have a role in the family, that they are still needed and respected. Gatherings, conversations, or participating in light activities together will help them reduce negative thoughts and feel that they are not being forgotten.

Continuing the program is the second story from Ms. H – a married woman living with her mother-in-law. Before getting married, Ms. H felt that her mother-in-law was very affectionate, loving her daughter-in-law like her own child. Her mother-in-law cared about every meal, took her shopping for gold and jewelry, and always looked after her in the smallest ways. Therefore, she decided to move in with her.

In the beginning, life for the mother and daughter-in-law was quite peaceful. They exercised together, watched movies, and chatted like friends. However, the mother-in-law's excessive attention gradually made Ms. H feel suffocated. There were times when she and her husband were resting, and her mother-in-law would unexpectedly walk into the room. When Ms. H came home tired from work, her mother-in-law would bring her dessert and force her to eat it, even though she was very tired and didn't want to. Although she felt frustrated, she didn't dare say anything for fear of upsetting her mother-in-law.

In response to this situation, Phuong Trinh Jolie frankly expressed her opinion: "You are very lucky to have such a mother-in-law. When you have children, you will understand why she cares so much. Sit down and talk to her so she understands. My husband, Ly Binh, and I always divide up the tasks of resolving difficult family matters, especially with my mother-in-law. Each of us is responsible for a different issue, but we do so in a frank manner to better understand each other. The elderly are like children. Children need to be loved in the embrace of their family, and so do the elderly. Love your parents while you still can."
