Mothers-in-law receive unwarranted criticism from several people, especially their daughters-in-law.
Society over scrutinises their actions towards their sons’ spouses.
This focus has made many young women in society to generalise the behaviour of these special mothers.
Before judging her, please note that she wishes you understood these three issues;
1. She is still his mother
When does parenting stop? This question is the reason you are likely to disagree with your mother in law.
Let her play her motherly role and appreciate the fact that she is still the mother to your husband.
Take suggestions about the best way to care for her son lightly.
2. She gets jealous
There is a special bond between a mother and her child.
This bond is even stronger if the child in question is a boy.
The mother enjoys this connection until you come in making her jealous.
She used to be the centre of his life, but your union takes her to a second option slot.
Forgive her when she shows signs of possessiveness because it is all natural and you might be in the same situation in future.
3. She did her best
Mothers-in-law did their best to help you get the man you have.
Even though she might have had flaws while parenting your man, she deserves respect and appreciation for what she did.
Let her know that you value what she did for your husband.
