sweetcocoa: You still don't get my point. Worldwide, women find it difficult to get along with each other, and there are often frequent disagreements between many MILs and their DILs. I was just bringing in a dimension into this discourse, the extent this disagreements can degenerate to, as opposed to other climes. |

Benita27:I love this post and I have answers to your question. There are many reasons for those attitude. 1. We all no that women jealous each other 2. Some of our mothers feels that this lady would be controlling us. 3. They also feel that d money u r to give to them u will be spending it on d lady. 4. When she looks good, they feel is your money she lavishing. 5. When u r broke they feel she has suck u dry. 6.Finally, they don't want any lady to treat us d way they treated our father. Solution 1. Dont praise your woman in her presence make she nuh think say u don eat vegetable. 2. Let them know that she comes from a rich background. 3. Don't ever tell them about any money transaction between u n your wife. 4 Don't ever report your wife to her. 5. Don't give her money in d presence of your mom n Don't give your mom money in her presence 7. Don't keep your mom n your wife together for too long dem go soon fight. 8. Don't be bringing your family matter into any discussion. 9. Put a long distance between dem I mean don't let dem see regularly dem no go disrespect each other. 10. Don't bring your mom to your house. If u do u r giving her opportunity to see how your wife operate which she will never like. 11. Are u aware that even your father get tolerance na him make am dey with your mama n him no wetin your mama fit do n will always tell your mama say "please leave them let them leave them n let them live their lives. She will say mo ti gbo ko si wahala. She will not beable to sleep that night. Thank God she finally sleep and started dreaming that your wife stab u in d dream. D following morning she is at your place not answering your wife greetings n telling u to drink water from a pastor n also give u small thing to dey tie for your waist Lol. Na wao To all ladies Some of u always pray for your fiancee mother to be dead n your arrival. Same d fiancee of your younger brother would wish your mom. Note: all mothers are not dsame n if they r dsame. Atleast if she didn't bring up your fiancee up in d right way how would u fall in love with him. If u r d 1 wud u watch a woman to ruin d child u brought up for 30 something years? Access yourself tolerance is d key. If u can tolerate her then u can tolerate anybody in d world n u r a good wife. No matter how bad your mother inlaw shows heartred to u she knows u r a gud wife becos u can tolerate her n your husband will be proud of u. Later she wud learn to love u becos u loved her. 8 Likes |

Benita27: I am not sure if u have a research project survey that backs up your 80% claim. Secondly, I tell ladies that if they wish for the death of their mother in laws, may they not have sons or may they also pass on before their sons gets married. It's heartless to think mother are just harsh for the sake of it. Though they must know their limits, they should not be wished away. |

Different strokes for different folks. Sometimes it's all about attitude. If you pray to have a good daughter in-law and plan to be a good mother in-law then you should strive to be good to your MIL. Never go into marriage with a biased view. Many MILs are demonised before they're introduced based mostly on generalisation. Why not reflect on your future and imagine someone telling you to get lost after many years of love and labor on your child? That's not to say it's right for a mother to be overbearing in the life of a grown child. Me? Never had problems with my MIL. Mutual respect is key. |

lekanojo01:What did the Bible ask of the man before asking submission from the woman? Love your wife as Christ loves the church. In essence, you should be able to give your life for her. What percent of men adhere to this? A marriage is the coming together of two people from different backgrounds. They should go with what works FOR THEM. Not "this is how my father did it". Same way every mother loves her son, is the same way a wife has parents who love and suffered for her. 1 Like |

Talk2Bella: my mother is different.She loves my wife and accord her honour and treats her as her daughter.When I give my Mum money, she will call my wife to thank her.We are deep christian family and I present my wife to my family in good light.It depends on the husband.If your mother is the one controlling you, your wife might be in trouble. Some mothers-in-law do so out of fear of rivalry that the woman will control the man against them.Allow your husband attend to his mother and family and dont give the woman any reason of panic or insecurity |

In my own opinion, i think it is all encompassing ie as we have mean MIL, we also have mean DIL, SIL and FIL. There are some factors that can make a woman to be mean MIL. 1) Personality issue ie she is mean irrespective of whether she is a MIL or not. There is nothing you can do with them other than to accept and love them the way they are because it is only God that can change them. They will even frustrate your goodwill and good character towards them. 2) Some women that are either single parent or widows, that have struggle to raise their children up singlehandedly and also have a strong bond for them. This does not apply to all of them, but you know it is not easy for one to labour and another person reaping the fruit alone or sharing with them. For this set of people, what you need to do is to show them love and be good and kind to them. Also prove to them that you married their son in order to add value to them and not to be a burden. That you did not come to take away the fruit of their labour, but rather you came to sustain it. 3) Some women have a very close relationship with their children, infact they love them more than their husbands, so this one can make them to see their DIL as a rival. 4) Some women are completely dependent all their days in life, so this type will be afraid that they won't be able to get the 100% care again. They became insecured and ended up being unnecessarily mean. 5) Some became mean as a result of their mean and wicked DIL, as a result of law of action and reaction. This type will bring out the terror in them just to show their mean DIL that she does not have the monopoly of wickedness. Above all no one is perfect. Tolerance is the solution here for both sides. Nevertheless, we have a lot of sweet, wonderful and friendly MIL out there. The question is will you be the sweet or the mean MIL during your own time? |
