Mother in law

Jealousy, inability to let go, the belief that nobody is "good enough" for their little darling, cultural differences, many things.

I think it has nothing to do with you as a daughter in law, but more to do with your mother in law. I am blessed to have a wonderful person for a mother in law, but from what I have been told, a wonderful mother in law does not happen often. Besides that my mother in law is a good person, I think the part that makes her smarter than other mother in laws is she knows to give us our privacy and not her opinion unless she is specifically asked. She loves me and accepts me because her son is happy and well taken care of.

I think most mother-in-laws don't like their daughter-in-laws because most don't believe their daughter-in-law is good enough for their sons. There is not a women out their that is good enough for their son. If they live with this on their minds constantly it could end up being nothing but trouble for family.

It is becoz,mothers feel that,they're the only one who can do the best thing for their son. We cannot blame the mother in laws to act like this. It is their son,and they want their son to have the same care like what they did before. The best thing to win a mother in law's heart is,befriended her,and asks things that your husband likes,like food,and what your husband doesn't like. Asks your mother in law tips about your husband,since,it is her son,she knows her son more than you do. Mother in laws like that,they want their daughter in law to know every detail about their husband,like how was he when he is a baby,etc etc. Mother's sometimes cannot accept the fact that,their son is not a kid anymore,and that their son is now loving other woman. As simple as that...let your mother in law tells your husband's childhood story

When my husband and I were still boyfriend and girlfriend, I felt that I was really welcome to their family. But when we got married, that's the time I felt the difference in the way they speak especially my mother-in-law. I can really feel that she's competing with me in his son's time and attention. There is always comparison whith her approach in everything that I do. It's just good that we live on our own and did not stay with my in-laws. I guess, it made them feel that I took away their son to them even if I did nothing wrong really.

hello JL_Love! Most mother-in-laws who don't like their daughter in laws are those who have a close relationship with their sons. That's why they are like that because they see the wives as competitors for their son's attention and love, which had been exclusively theirs since babyhood. Mothers like these feel that they are the only one capable of loving best their son and resent it especially if they see that their son is very loving towards the wife. there are mother in laws who, unfortunately are hopeless in this case. No matter what the daughter in law does, she will be forever tagged as the villain in their relationship with their sons. If you show them caring, they will only think that you are just acting up so that they will be the villain, not you the wife in this antagonist-protagonist play. But there are also mother in laws who are really likeable and coupled with your own sincere effort to be nice to her, respecting her and making her an ally towards giving the best of both worlds to the husband, who knows? you could end up as best friends.
