________________________________________________________________________________
The truth about mothers-in-law
Although it’s men who tell jokes about them, mothers-in-law are usually less popular with their daughters-in-law than with their sons-in-law. A recent study of 49 married couples found that two thirds of wives interviewed said that their mothers-in-law caused them ‘unhappiness and stress’, compared with 15% of the husbands.
There are a number of reasons for this. First of all, there is the question of experience. A mother-in-law has already brought up a family of her own, so she feels that she has a lot of knowledge to pass on. In this situation, it is very difficult for her to keep quiet. However, when a daughter-in-law is a new mother, she usually wants to find her own way of doing things. She often interprets her mother-in-law’s advice as criticism, which can cause a conflict.
Secondly, there is the case of the husband. Both women care for him, although each of them loves him in a different way. On the one hand, he is the mother-in-law’s son and she obviously wants the best for him. On the other hand, he is the wife’s partner, and she wants him to support her. Both women can get very upset if they see the man taking sides, and this can cause an argument.
However, mothers-in-law actually have a lot to offer, despite their reputation for causing trouble. They are generally excellent babysitters, and they don’t mind helping with the housework. As long as they have their own independent
lives and help out only when needed, mothers-in-law can play a very useful role in any family. The important thing
is that they should not get too involved in their sons’ and daughters’ relationship so that nobody feels bad.-
