How can you get your boyfriend's or your partner's Mother to like you?

I have observed that it is very seldom to have future parents-in-law who would treat you like a member of their family. Often times, girlfriends/boyfriends will not be allowed to attend sunday gatherings for these are "family gatherings"--implying that you are not yet a member of their family. It's pretty natural for mothers to be jealous of the girlfriend of their sons. Especially in your situation where your boyfriend is the breadwinner of the family. Probably, his mother (I am just assuming here my friend)feels that you will be a competition not just with respect to financial matters but also with regard to the love and affection of his son. I think that the thoughtfulness and kindness that you have been showing to his mother will send a signal that you are there not to compete with them but to love her son. If you really love your boyfriend and you feel that your feelings are reciprocated, just continue to do good and you would not notice that you have already won the approval of your future mother in law. God Bless you dear!
