According to the culture of the Luo people, a mother-in-law is someone to be treated with a lot of respect. It is not recommended you talk to or visit your mother-in-law regularly. You only visit your mother-in-law when you have something really important to discuss. Mothers-in-law also come in different shades and characters. There are those who reciprocate the respect to their sons and daughters-in-law. There are those who try to control their sons and daughters-in-law. Also, there are mothers-in-law who are just outright crazy in their actions.

Here are a few annoying things that mothers-in-law do.

Overstaying their visits

It is good for your mother-in-law to visit you but it is a very big problem when she decides to overstay her visit. It not only makes you uncomfortable but it can also lead to disrespect. It is not good when your mother-in-law gets to know all the secrets in your house. She may use them against you, especially if she is not comfortable with the relationship you have with her son/daughter.

Acting as the main decision maker

For some mothers-in-law, It is a very big offense when their sons or daughters make decisions without consulting them. They want to be the man decision makers in their sons/daughters marriages. They want to be the ones to control the affairs of their sons’ or daughters’ marriages.

 Nagging

Some mothers-in-law are very nagging. They would constantly call their sons or daughters to demand one thing or another. In case their sons or daughters are taking too long to get a child, they would throw tantrums and all manner of drama. They would even suggest a divorce for their sons or daughters.

Crossing the boundaries

Then there are those mothers-in-law who are so daring. When they visit you, they do not hesitate to enter your bedroom. Seeing you half-naked is not a big deal to them. 

Gossiping

We also have mothers-in-law who gossip about their sons and daughters-in-law. And that is not all, they also spread those gossips to non-family members. They talk ill about their sons-in-law and their daughters-in-law.
