Marriage is a beautiful thing until you encounter a monstrous mother in law. But then, there is always a way out and you can end up making the best friends ever with your mum-in-law. This, however, requires effort as it is not easy to be that perfect daughter-in-law.
With these tips, it's almost a sure bet to win the love of your mother-in-law or at least live peacefully with them.
Be kind
Never pay evil with evil. She may be one of those terrible mums in the world but regardless of how badly she treats you, always do good things to her. If she calls you names because you did something she doesn't approve, simply remain silent. Once she is done with her talking, say something like, 'thank you mum' or 'God bless you'. This way, she will take her time to meditate and don't be surprised when she apologises the following morning.
Never compete for love
Many women feel as if their sons stop loving them once they get married. As such, they are always trying to prove to their daughters-in-law how significant they are in the lives of their sons. If she insists on taking the front seat while your husband is driving, let her do to avoid unnecessary arguments.
Keep her informed
As silly as it may appear, mother-in-laws are always complaining that no one informed them regarding some family decision. They will even pick a fight with you because you did not inform them that you transferred your kid to another school. So just let her know such things if they make her happy.
Consult them
If you are having any issues with your marriage, ensure you consult her for advice before seeking help from anyone else. They love being recognized and being given attention. If this is what will make her love you for good, why not do it anyway?
