Everyone has completely different living habits, so many couples need time to get used to each other after dating, and they also have to adapt to their partner’s family customs after marriage. A female netizen complained that her mother-in-law said that people in the south never use mops when cleaning. They always kneel on the ground and wipe with a rag, which makes her knees almost die of pain every time after wiping. She feels overwhelmed by this. After the post was exposed, a large number of netizens were dumbfounded and shouted, “I’m from the south. How come I didn’t know that people in the south have to kneel down to wipe the floor?”

The original PO posted on the Facebook group “Poisonous Aunt Nine Bitch Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Discussion Forum” that her mother-in-law said that southerners do not have the habit of using mops when cleaning. They always kneel on the floor and wipe with a rag, so she was asked to kneel like the locals. She had to wipe the floor at home, which made her knees hurt every time after wiping. She couldn’t help but break down and shout, “Why are southerners so strong?”

The post sparked discussion, with netizens leaving messages such as “Ask your mother-in-law to kneel down and wipe the floor first. I’m from the south. How come I don’t know that people in the south have to kneel down to wipe the floor? Are you crazy?” and “What era are you in? Listen to her fart.” , “We are modern people, we need to use sweeping robots and mopping robots”, “I am from the south, I use sweeping robots”, “When did this custom come into being in the south? It must have been fixed”, “My mother-in-law demonstrated it first. Give it a try by teaching in person for a few days.”

However, someone who has been there revealed that “my mother-in-law from Yilan also said this” and “I believe this. My mother said that my grandmother used to ask her to do this, and she had to use a brush to brush the tile seams by hand. My mother now asks her directly. The cleaners will come and sweep her floor. For 2,000 square meters, we will help you clean the 60 square meters. However, my wife doesn’t like outsiders entering our room, so we will take care of that floor ourselves.” “My own mother also wiped the floor with a rag while kneeling.” “I already I have been doing this for 17 years, even on the balcony.”
