Good Nairaland People,

Some members of this forum are married, some are single.
Amongst the married there are married men amd married women.
Those of us who are married women have sons and daughters.
I assume that some women may not be enjoying a great relationship with their husband's mum, so I would like this house members to share tips on how women can improve on their relationships with their Mother-In-laws.
Afterall some day our sons and daughters will get married and we will be Mother-In-Law too.

Besides, our husbands will love us us a-little-more if we have a good relationship with their mums, or how do you love my child when you hate me?

Some mother In laws are un winnable lol, but the only thing that has worked really well for me has been to treat my mother in law as i would treat my Mum. Respect, Love and hang out with her (depending on the kind of mother in law you have), I have been lucky mine were both women who knew what was up, so we had almost similar interests.
For a difficult mother in law, always be polite and non confrontational, let your husband handle issue regarding her. Never make her feel unwanted even if you dont want her around. Then take what you watch on African magic with a grain of salt, dont go into marriage thinking every mother in law is patience ozokwor lol.

What I did b4 I got married was to put my future mother n sister in laws in prayers. Infact for a long time that was my prayer point and today I have a good relationship with them all infact her son is always jealous self. Another thing is to treat her the way you will treat your mom. Don't get irritated with everything she does and don't act as a barrier btw her and her son. Another thing is for the husband to stand his grounds in his home. So his mom can understand her position has mother and the wife as wife.
