Mothers do have high affection for their
children, especially for their male child.
Sometimes the attachment for these male
children is so strong and difficult to let go, even
after their wedding.
Recently I conducted a poll, asking married
people both men and women, “why the friction
between a mother and her daughter in-law?” I
got resourceful feedback. Before I continue let
me state here that because of the strong bond a
male child has with his mother it is difficult for
him to disobey or not to grant her request,
ladies please don’t try to change that. So from
the pool of response I got, I have prepared for
you (brides) five (5) ways that will help you be
in your mother-in-law’s good book.

1.DON'T TRY TO OUT-DO HER
As a wife you can’t separate your spouse from
his mother , you just have to manage the
situation. The fact that you were married into
that family and you have succeeded in
displacing her from her position as the first
lady in her son’s life should not get to your
head. Don’t try to outdo her or compete with
her, remember she was there way back before
you came. Remember in life there are
boundaries; learn not to cross the line.

2.HELP OUT WITH CHORE
Many times when my fiancée and I visit my
mother, and she sees my mother doing any
chores, my fiancée make sure that she takeover
the chores from her. When my fiancée is
around, my mother doesn’t trouble herself with
work around the house. By so doing my fiancée
has endeared herself to my mother. In Nigeria,
new brides or soon-to-be brides are tested by
their characters and her ability to manage the
home, others are doing domestic activities,
cooking and taking care of her in-laws. So any
bride that wants to be in the good book of her
mother-in-law should take cognizance of the
aforementioned observation.

3.RESPECT
In every home respect is paramount, in Nigeria
it is extremely important to show respect to
your mother-in-law before/after your wedding
with her son. Apart from been your mother-in-
law, she is way older than you and more
experience than you in issue pertaining to
family life and keeping a home together. That
alone is enough to show her respect. Go to her
for advice; tell her your difficult situation with
the kids at home, she will put you through
because she understands the family more than
you do. Ask her for information about her son,
you be amazed that tips you got can go a long
way to make your home a happy place.

Try to be a good girl first....then, everything will fall in place. You do not need to act in pretence cause things will definitely go south if you're not wat you claim to be.
