mother in laws they could be so terrible to you and pretend as if they are terrific in your husband presence. all you could is to be so prayerful never insult her, be nice to her, overlook are bitter actions and words to you and pray to God to win her heart for you. and remember never fight your husband becos of her.

Some mother in laws are just evil there is no winning them over. No matter what you do that's a real reality.
Remember evil can be tamed and controlled? All you need is the manual and you're home free. smiley

OP.i think u mised somtin.young maried ladies ar in a diferent world while mother inlaws ar in their own diferent world.the problem is usualy the two parties ar strange to each other world.and none wil acept .this person is an old skul and see d world as best in her old way while the other is in d new sckul and se d world frm there.the tendency to make another acept things in the own way is d major cause of problem.The society is fast advancing and usualy.mother inlaws in africa dnt move along.the major problem my mother had wit ma wife is she always put on trousers and fries egusi b4 making soup.and ma wif cant eat egusi if nt fried.i sugest d best way is dnt live wit her.but visit ceremonial.always sent her needs.then u wil be lovd

Why am i begining to remember Toks2008 whenever i see the moniker Nairalanddss ? grin

hmmm, All DIL should remember they will also be MIL someday, also let all MILs remember they were DILs before they became MILs.

Lastly let all DILs remember that their MILs did a lot to raise that husband of theirs, and they could only imagine what she had been through, also if the DILs are now mothers, let them imagine a lady coming to marry their sons and threating them they way they wish or are threating their MIL.

By the time they are through imagining it would all had been over grin

But, how can mil and dil be competing for love and attention sef?

cmon, the love for wife is different for love for mother. And, the love for mother is different for love of wife.



the earlier we understand it, the best for everyone, and peace for all.

All these DIL/ MIL threads sef!

As a man, if you are not ready to 'leave' your parents and 'cleave' to your wife, don't bother getting married.

If you are not ready to put your wife first and leave your mother to face your father, don't marry.

As a wife, if you are not ready to treat your MIL as you would your mum (or better), don't bother marrying

As a MIL, if you are not willing to live a good life wih your husband so that you can live your son in peace, marry him yourself.

Simply do to your mother in-law what you want your future daughter in-law to do to you.
As you lay your bed, so shall you lie on it!

All the more reason why people (those whose eyes are open) look for instructions about how the mind of people work.

Re: How To Be A Good Daughter-in-law by Nobody: 10:24pm On Dec 11, 2016
The things I get away with when it concerns my own mum, I know that no other woman can take it lol. My MIL can never be my mother, but that doesn't mean I would not approach her with an open mind. If she is the jealous type then I will know what to do but if she is the loving type I will give her so many gifts and show her love.

But there's no other woman like my mother, I love you ma.

Eyah, your MIL sounds really wicked. I was listening to my radio today and one lady called in during a show and she was praying for her MIL to die, although I was shocked but we do not know what she is going through in her home for her to pray for such. Can't you involve your own parents in the matter?

nairalanddss:
Being a good daughter-in-law can be a challenging job, but it doesn’t need to be if you keep a few simple suggestions in mind.your husband was a son first!

As a new wife, it is difficult not to feel possessive and a little defensive. You want to be number one in your husband’s life, but you should remember not to put him in a position of having to defend his mother! no one wins that battle; it will only put pressure on every relationship. Will what you gain, by dividing your husband and his mother, be worth the many unnecessary heartaches for the family?


[b]Granted, there are mother-in-laws that will do everything to prove you are not worthy of their son; you can only do so much to make a relationship with her happen. No matter what you do or hard you try to make things work, she constantly tries to demonstrate how unworthy you are. How do you deal a mother-in-law like that? Well, you could stoop to her level and try to make her look bad, but the truth is, your husband can probably see how his mother is treating you and doesn’t like it either. He may not stand up to her, for whatever reason, but he’s new to this too. Give him a break! Just keep your distance and try to keep the peace, but not at the cost of letting yourself be walked on. Don’t stoop to her level and don’t hesitate to speak up for yourself; you don’t need to set yourself up for abuse from anyone.

Don’t try to compete. He married you because he loves you. His relationship with you is different from the relationship with his mother. You’re his wife, not his mother. If she’s the queen of lasagne, give her the throne; she’s been cooking it for years and has perfected it. Create something new and perfect it. Or, better yet, find a great wine, light a candle and cook a little something up.

Do a good job taking care of her son. Part of the unnecessary strain on an in-law relationship is that your husband’s parents, particularly his mother, want to know that the wonderful care of their son that they have long provided will continue in your care. Let them see that you love him and that he has clean underwear and vegetables at least once a day. They’ll be happy and he’ll be more regular.
Keep them in the loop. Don’t cut his parents out. Take the initiative and call them with news and updates. Even though things might be a bit uncomfortable at first, remember that they are a big part of your life and making a little extra effort won’t hurt a bit (well, it won’t hurt too much).[/b]

Clean underwear and vegetables? Is the man a goat that needs that level of care?
Re: How To Be A Good Daughter-in-law by emmyreb(f): 6:00am On Dec 12, 2016
My believe is that, I will treat my mother in law as I want my mum to b treated. If I eventually get married to my present boyfriend, seriously I won't have problem with his mum coz I just love her Nd couldn't record any reason to hate her as a mother in law for past 3yrs+ I have met her.
