On a discussion forum, I realized how lucky I am to have a good relationship with my in-laws! Of course, many will say that I have a good mother-in-law! I agree!
On the other hand, I think it's important to be ourselves at all times and not to try to become the dream daughter-in-law, because that's where the frustrations start. It's hard to discuss our opinions in the face of our vision of the family if for several years, we have changed our personality to make ourselves loved by our mother-in-law.
Several mothers said on the forum that their child belonged to them and that if the grandparents did not act as the mother wishes, to simply cut the bridges. For my part, I totally disagree with these mothers. My children do not belong to me! For me, being a mom means giving everything to your child so that he can flourish and have the necessary background to face the obstacles of life, without knowing if they will be grateful one day! It's a bit ungrateful to be a mom!
Grandparents play a very important role in the lives of our children. I find it a bit selfish to choose to cut ties. Sometimes we have to take our courage and discuss with SINCERITY aboutour feelings and the role we believe they should have in the lives of their grandchildren. with his son! There are already enough hot topics in a couple with children, it's still not good to involve the mother-in-law in all that! I'm not saying to be best friends, but to respect her values when she's around. Anyway, you know who the mom is: it's you!
It is with love that we sow love
My primary mission is to teach the importance of family to my daughters. We are all different, but we must learn to respect the values and differences of others, just as we have the right to demand respect for our own. Your child will be surrounded throughout his life by people and friends you did not choose, and out of love, you will have to respect his choices! The best way to make our point of view understood is to maintain a relationship of trust with your child so that you are there when he needs us.
I know sometimes there are mothers-in-law meaner than others, but life is all about perception. If we always have things in mind that have hurt us in the past, everything she says will get on our nerves because we didn't have the courage to speak to her sincerely!
And remember: children learn by imitation. Don't forget that one day you might be the bad guymother-in-law!
