Past tow years I am a housewife. I lived with my husband and my in-laws. After my marriage I found that my mother-in-law is too much talkative. She never listen to anyone.In any discussion only she says and others just trying. Me also trying as my best. But always I let down. We don't know how to we make her a good listener. I know its sound so funny... but its 100% true. Can anyone help her..

You can ask your mother-in-law, why have God created two ears and only one mouth? You will tell the answer as well. It means listen more and talk less. You will ask, "do you maintain it"?

Sometimes a talkative person is very annoying. It is hard to remind a talkative person to be a good listener, because it is a kind of habit that hard to change. But we can remind a talkative person to be a good listener as often a possible, because each time he or she wants to talk, he or she would remember our advice. I'm not sure whether this kind of habit can be stopped or not. But I think by remind as long as possible, it can help to stop a talkative. But if it is really serious problem, a psychiatrist maybe can help.

We cannot denied that there are people who love to talk and do not listen to others. It means she didn't trust anybody. You need to make a bridge to her so that she will listen you. Learn to listen her and slowly try to convince her that she will not be offended.

I think the problem here is dominance, your Mother-in-law does put up a character wherein she is more superior than the people surrounding her resulting that she does not want to listen to others but instead, she want’s others to just listen to her stand. Sometimes, it is hard to correct such habits because she is used to it, the best way you can do though, is to let her talk first and try ways and means that after she’d stopped take time to put your take on the subject matter in a way that she won’t get offended by it or putting a more dominating character over the conversation.
