This post taps into the highly relatable Korean struggle of academic pressure, especially from in-laws, and the generational clash over what truly defines success in modern society.
애들이 초등학생인데요.시댁만 가면 애들 공부 못하는걸 제탓을 하네요 ㅡㅡ요즘 처럼 학벌 의미없는 시대가 어딨다고남편은 뭐 한번빼고 늘 전교1등 이었다고 하고(서울대 출신)저는 공부는 못하긴 했지만, 외모적인 부분에서 제가 훨씬 나았거든요.시대에 뒤떨어진 시댁을 어떻게하면 좋을까요?

Your in-laws are so stuck in the past, lol. Who cares about grades when you're an adult? Just tell them your kids inherited their father's looks and your brains! 😂
Seoul Uni husband and beautiful wife? Sounds like a power couple to me. Your in-laws should be proud, not nitpicking!
They're probably projecting their own academic pressure onto your kids. It's a cycle that needs to stop.
Just ignore them. You can't change old people's minds, especially when it comes to 'hakbeol' obsession.
This is why I dread meeting in-laws. The academic background obsession is so real and exhausting.
So your husband is smart and you're pretty. What's the problem? They should be celebrating their grandkids, not judging their grades.
Maybe your husband should step up and defend you more. It's his parents, after all.
It's true that 'hakbeol' isn't everything these days, but it's hard to convince the older generation. Good luck!
If your kids are happy and healthy, that's what matters. Grades aren't the only measure of success in life.
Whoa, the 'brains vs. beauty' dynamic is interesting here. But seriously, in-laws need to chill.
