If you have been facing issues with your mother-in-law (MIL) right from the start of your marriage or recently, here is an interesting read for you to put effort to mend your relationships with another mother of your life. Mothers-in-law are usually considered to be grumpy, ill-mannered, nagging, irrational, irritable, moody, and dominating figures in the lives of daughters-in-law. Many women think they would marry a man with the condition that they will never stay with their in-laws because they want privacy. However, such a living arrangement doesn’t work for everyone due to various factors.

1) If she tells you your flaws, and you find any sense in them, then work on the same. If you feel she is criticizing you just to make you feel small, then ignore. If ignorance is a difficult thing for you to do, then avoid it. Either way, your job is to be a good human being and not act like the retard bahus that the Indian TV soaps show.
2) Get a job for yourself apart from cleaning, cooking, and caring. Really, women nowadays need to be financially independent as that will help them to be emotionally stable and face challenges with a strong front. And if your MIL doesn’t allow you to work, then convince as much as you can with the slogan – Beti bachao, Beti Padhao and Beti Aage Badhao. You can use any tactic you know the best that works with her to help you get the required time-off from your home so that you can have a career of your own.
A mindful indulgence can uplift your mood and satiate cravings!
3) If your husband is a Mama’s boy then never ever take your complaints to him as he will only take his mom’s side and that will make you more jealous and frustrated with your husband. It will eventually affect your relationship as a couple and you will feel like you are losing everything to your MIL.
4) Take it easy. The phase of MIL in one’s life is not going to be for a longer period. Every storm lasts only for a particular time and you follow positive psychology to tolerate all her unique acts that you can laugh at after many many years.
