Marriage is said to be a diverse union that brings different people together.It enables you to learn the new culture and a new way of doing things.
Visiting your spouse's family could be a start to a good relation or a bad picture to your in-laws, in particular, your mother in law.There are a few do's and dont's you need to figure out before you visit your mother in law.
Be respectful and humble your self.It is important to treat everyone for you to respect everyone in their family whether younger or older than you.This will set up a good rapport for you and the family.You should be humble and get to level with the people your interacting with even if they are of a different class.
Be yourself.Do not pretend to to be someone else when your interacting with your in-laws, faking a personality that is not yours can get tiresome and blow out on you really bad.
Don't take offense easily.You need to understand that your background and theirs might be different and sometimes they might talk to you in a manner that you don't find right ,if you snap back,it will only make things worse, learn to keep your cool.
Don't ignore your partner when you are interacting with his family.Most people will do that to woo the support of the in-laws but it is not right.As much as you are talking to his family, check up on him once in a while to see if he's okay.
