Adjustment Period right after the Wedding: Grrrrr....

I agree as long as you live with your inlaws you have to live with it, but you can try and have a calm conversation with her explaining how you feel and maybe that will help. Maybe you caould explain to her that they are your children and it is your life and you don't want it controlled.

Sweetie as long as you live with your mother in law you are going to have theses struggles. It is her home She is Queen and there is nothing you can do about it but make the best of it, try not to be confrontational. She has earned the ruling of her home, just as you will when your family is raised and you have granbabies coming along. You have to work hard to keep your emotions in place. I know that as a new mom you feel you should be nesting in your own home, and Ideally you should be. Give it time, do your best to improve your situation so that you will not be there for long. Your relationship with your mother in law will improve once you are making your own home for your husband and family. That baby weight you are carrying will come off also if you do not let yourself get mired down in depression. Make goals for yourself everyday. Little ones at first so that you can attainthem. Build your confidence. You can do this. Every new wife goes through a period of insecurity it is normal. Good luck Sugar.
