Will the mom envy the daughter-in-law?

To be quite honest I feel it's a case by case thing. I mean, some mother in law's and daughter in law's get along quite well, while others don't. I suppose it depends on how much independence and freedom the mother gave her son when he was younger. If she was more clingy, she's going to be critical of who he chooses as a wife.

i have only one child, a son who got married two years ago. no, i'm not jealous of my daughter in law. she's sweet lady and she loves my son a lot. my son is happy with her and he loves her very much. i see no reason to be jealous with her. i'm happy that my son is happy with her.

I guess it depends on the daughter in law! Some mothers will question whether their future daughter in law will look after their son, the way they have done, and it's like passing over the reins in a way, once confident and happy with the daughter in law. I guess it's harder for mother's who only have one child.

Good morning, youless. It is a good question to being with. I am not quite sure whether the mom will envy the daughter-in-law, but I do know that the relationship between can be good or so-so or bad, depending on how they handle it. Well-handled, it will develop a good and smooth relationship or vice versa.

I think it all depends on the person. My mom suffered the ire and jealousy of my dad's mother. While I enjoy my mother inlaw's love. She even loves me now more than she loves my husband, haha!

A mother will always think that there is no other woman out there better then her self as a woman and she will always be very protective of here son

hi yes i guess it is common but I never had any problem with my motherin law and were my 53 year old son to marry which does not seem likely as he enjoys being single, I would really try not to be jealous at all of her. I think people can change and can not be envious or jealous as that would help make the relationship between mother and daughter in law much nicer.

I don't think it's jealousy. I think that mothers cherish their sons and no woman no matter how great she may be can measure up to what her son diserves. And some mothers can be very nasty when it comes to the daughter in law. Others are smart enough to realize that it is best for all involved to be nice and respectful of this woman in her son's life.

In my opinion there is no hardcore reason for a women getting jealous of her daughter in law.Only reason can be differences in approach due to generation gap.As far as i know normally a mothers always wish for happiness of her son and daughter in law is important part of son's life,so why would anyone be jealous.However what i am describing is ideal situation, things are not like that always.We see mothers having all sorts of problems with their daughter in laws and vice-verse,however there is no logic behind such jealousy or hatred.

I think it is a common occurence. In fact, we've seen such situation in movies, television programs and even in real life. Maybe because they are used to become their son's focus of attention which will not be the same once the son got married. The son's attention and time will now be focus on his own family, specifically his wife in the beginning. The mother tend to be jealous of the attention the son is giving to his wife. They may even think that the wife isn't good enough to take of her son so they may tend to interfere in the married life of their children. I think that is how they felt at the beginning but will soon be changed afterwards especially when the couple has children already. Their attention will now be focus on their grandchildren.

I think it depends on different persons. And the relationship between mom and her daughter-in-law is very important. If they can get along very well with each other, the problem would not exist. And the most important, the son plays the key role in their relationship.

I think it is true, more that this new woman is going to steal him away. I see it often with friends and their boyfriends or husbands.

Hi ! I don't with other moms but my mom is not jealous to her in laws , in fact she is so supportive to them ,to the extent of making them very dependent on her but i heard some moms are like jealous to in laws because the attention which was hers before was no longer there. This kind of mom is a mom that thinks no ever best woman for her son. A very wrong and selfish perception.

I guess so, most especially when the mother and son are too close with each other and sometimes it depends upon the situation. One situation is my grandmother and my mother. Long ago, my grandmother and my mother are not too close even don't talk to each other when the time that my mom arrived home with my father. They were too young before to live together. My father was only 20 years old while my mother is 18 years old. This situation disagreed my grandmother as she was against about this early marriage of my parents and so this leads to misunderstanding of my grandmother and my father until such time that my grandmother was so hurt and she even not talking with my mother even us her grand kids. Her heart was so far with us. My father was the youngest son and was also her favorite son.

Me and my mother-in-law have no problem. We are love each other .
