The role of a woman in her life has been constantly changing.

When her child grows up, she enters into marriage with another partner. Become someone else's mother-in-law. Since ancient times, the way of getting along between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been the biggest issue for many women after marriage. If you have recently become the mother of your son's girlfriend, or if your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have trouble getting along with each other, you may wish to refer to the following 4 points of good mother-in-law. , To help you get along with your daughter-in-law in the family more harmoniously.
The biggest problem with the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may be that they are preconceived and label each other before they know each other, but instigating unnecessary competition, I am afraid that people present will feel embarrassed, especially for sons. As a mother-in-law, you should let your son and wife handle their affairs, let go and hold a relationship of trust, and set a good example of how to get along with each other.
1. Get to know her well, praise and thank her
Now that you have become a family, please relax and get to know her. It is recommended that you can start chatting or researching with each other's common interests, such as her interests, things you like or hate, etc., so that you can have more connections with each other. It will be easier to get along with each other in the future. Compared with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is more like a friend or even mother-daughter friendship. When you go to understand and discover her advantages, please don't hesitate to give compliments.
In addition, during family talks or dinners, don't leave your daughter-in-law out of the office. You can take the initiative to invite her to participate, which will make her feel accepted and cared.
2. Don't force the other party to meet expectations
Some mother-in-law will teach their daughter-in-law the way she teaches her children, but this is not good, because she has the same values and life experience from the original family as your son, which is the basis of her personality and values today. At the same time, it may also be the reason why your son likes her. As long as you are willing to spend some time with her, I believe you will see more good things in her.
We often set our ideals on others, but this is somewhat unrealistic and selfish. Although there are many expectations for our wife, the choice is still with her. We cannot force others to meet our expectations. At the same time, you also need to accept the change in your relationship with your son, because he is no longer under your custody. He is the man who carried a family and the husband of his wife. Parents should trust him and his wife. Let them go and let them make every decision, and stop dealing with everything for the child.
3. Don't criticize or give suggestions without authorization
To become a beloved mother-in-law, you should avoid sour remarks or unsolicited opinions to your daughter-in-law. Don't criticize yourself in front of your son or everyone else. I'm afraid it will only create a greater gap between each other. In many cases, there is no so-called right or wrong, because we are in different positions and have different opinions. That's it. As long as we look farther and know how to review ourselves, we believe that your relationship can be closer.
In the face of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, please don't get used to letting your son be your bridge of communication, let alone ask him to choose a side. Family members should support each other with love instead of treating them as enemies. Similarly, when couples are quarreling, parents don’t have to "participate". Letting the couple solve it by themselves is the best cooperation the elders can do. In fact, they don’t need your advice and let the children experience it themselves. , Or it’s not too late for them to ask you for advice. In addition, if you want to give your daughter-in-law a gift, it is recommen d to give her something she would like, or a gift similar to that for your son, so as to avoid making her feel sad because of the differential treatment.
4. Don't get too involved in married life
Being helpful is of course a good thing, but excessive intervention will eventually have counterproductive effects. As an elder, please note that your enthusiasm is to help your son and daughter-in-law, not to add to their troubles. You must know that the couple is already an adult. Have the ability to organize families and educate children, so don't take away their responsibilities and responsibilities as parents.
If your mother-in-law wants to show concern, you can ask about her current situation, but don't need to dig out the details. In principle, just let the couple know that you are willing to help, and try not to interfere with their family time. Some mothers don’t know how to distinguish between their sons. She may appear at their children’s home without warning and look forward to participating in every dinner and social occasion in the child’s family. This is not recommended, because the child has his own. Family life, remind parents to give each other more space.
- In addition, older elders may wish to witness the birth of their grandson in the delivery room at the time of delivery, but this is a time when parents and children are very close. Therefore, some parents will not invite their elders to the hospital. , And respect the decision made by the child, I believe that their family will come to you in a few days!
