Ladies... How do you deal with your Mother-in-laws

Tweet

Some say they are a blessing ...others say they are more Monsters then Mothers to you. I tried to make the best relationship with mine only to nagged and judged about how I clean my house, do my daughter's hair, make the bed and what I cook for my husband. It feels as though sometimes they can have no reality on boundaries. I was watching the new tv show "Married to Jonas" (I know,I know ladies, childish, but it sucked me in) when the couple sat down for dinner with the rest of the Jonas family. You think that at dinner you would normally talk about what you did during the day, fun and exciting plans and ideas. This was not the case for them. Instead of spending a lovely evening together enjoying each others company it turned into what seems to be like a business meeting. The Jonas family conversation consisted of when the right time to would be for the newlywed couple to have a baby. This is all too personal and more .. it was so familiar to my life. I was the type of girl to wanted to have a good relationship with his family, but in the end she didn't want the same. Since times like that I have grown and have finally put my foot down to my mother in law. But it took time. My question is .. what advice would you give to a newlywed bride for these situations? I understand that some mother in laws are great, and for those women I am ecstatic for. Kudos to you! But for those that don't know yet or are already dealing with one... what advice can you give? what are some experiences you have had and overcome?
