How to communicate with your mother-in-law?

Hi Melly. If your job takes you away from home, perhaps the two of you could rent movies she likes or get library books for her to read while you are gone at work. If you want to connect with her when you are home, yet she isn't into conversation, again, you could watch a movie together, or perhaps play card games or board games or go out to a movie. That way, you are keeping her company in ways that don't require a lot of conversation. Karen

Why not try to make the time in your schedule, maybe on a day off to take her around a bit and show her places she can go. Take her to the store teh next time you go, take her to run errands with you, anything that will help her get a better idea of where she is. Maybe you can ask her what she enjoys doing. She may be able to help you think of better ideas. I know when I first moved where I live now, I only knew my husband and kids. I had to meet my new in-laws and get accustomed to a new place all at once. One in-law took me around and helped me get used to where things were for the first week or so, and it madea big difference to me.
