In-law problems?

:offtopic:


psssssssssst, share with you something RRMummy ....

My mom is neither a 'maternalistic' mom nor an ideal MIL to my SILs.

Actually, I do understand what it means to be in the line of fire because this was the kind of r/s I had with my mom ....

The funny thing is, she cannot understand why their relationship is so estranged as she keeps blaming them for the breakdown.

I only came to this realization about my mom more so after I got married and especially after I gave birth because I had basis for comparison and analysis.

But I still try my best to be a filial daughter though my patience is running short because of her lack of sensitivity towards my DS.

autumnbronze, I was just trying to soften the atmosphere with a joke... no need to be so fierce...


BTW, has anyone realised that it is always the DILs talking about the MILs and sons-in-law just accept our parents? Why?

We are now living with my parents on weekdays and even though my mom is a control freak and passes comments abt how my hubby handles the baby, my hubby has never borne any grudge or complained.

Just want to share a different perspective of the MIL issue .....

Nice write up. They are indeed a misunderstood species.....

There are some who are misunderstood... but there are also some who are just down right mean and nasty..

Unfortunately not all MILs fall within the misunderstood species category.. and you will never truly understand until you are one of those unfortunate ones who is always always in their line of fire left right and center no matter what you do.. only GOD knows..[/quote]Agreed....
