i have heard alot about mothers not getting along with their daughters-in-law or vice versa. in your opinion what could be the reason for this? it is destined for them not to get along? anybody have a happy relationship with their in-laws? my mom for one didn't have a very good relationship with hers, though they are civil.

Mo mother don't also have a good relationship with her in-laws.. It is a long story but to make it short the reasons why they don't like my mother it is because she is not rich and don't have a good family background.. My mother grew up to her grandparents, since both her parent left her and got have other family.. Since, her grandparents are only poor, so she need to stop attending school and find some work.. Then she met my father.. The fall in love and get married at a very young age (my mother is 18 while my father is 19).. Because of that married my father didn't continue his studies..
All the siblings of my father and his evil mother don't like my mother up to now.. They were still quarrellings my mother and finding some reasons to start a fight.. Even though we have a problem like this the relationship and love of my parents are very strong.. They never listen to those evil people.. They are now married more than 31 years.. And I am proud of them because they have a strong bound of love...

On one side, in the heart of a mother, the fact that her son has a wife will create some kind of feeling that another woman come and take away her son. On the other side, wife think that now she's the only woman in her husband life, the fact that he still has mother whom he is care much about will create feeling that she's not the only one. Am I right? I'm just trying to see the basic reason about this problem.

Well mother and daughter in law relationship is more often than not strained by jealousy on both part. Most of the time it's the mother who is jealous because the son he once had has now another woman in his life and even become his priority. Sometimes though there are wives who are jealous if the son still show his love to his mother. There are cases also when the mother in law is very dominating and would want to rule even if his son has already a life of his own. Now the daughter in law will not therefore allow this to happen and therefore there is struggle for power and conflicts happen. The truth of the matter is a mother and a daughter in law will more often than not clash so it is better not to house them together. In the first place, it should really be the set-up for a married couple... to separate from the in-laws and live a life of their own.

Well perhaps the mother didnt like her daughter in law in the first place. These are the common reasons why in laws hates their in laws. Most parents wants their in laws to be like them or they have these common denominators specially when it comes to their children or grandsons.
