Somewhere in this forum I did notice some talk by women folks about Mother in law, which I could not immediate lay my hand into it. Here is some latest in Yahoo News. Something to chew



ANIWhy women have no sense of humour when it comes to mum-in-laws Tue, Nov 9 10:40 AM
London, Nov 09 (ANI): Overbearing mother-in-laws might be objects of fun for men the world over but for women, life with such a figure is no laughing matter.

Seven in ten mothers say they have to endure a controlling matriarch who criticises their parenting skills.

Major sources of irritation include questioning how they bring up their children, mollycoddling their son, and trying to spoil their grandchildren too much.

The mother-in-law turning up uninvited is another cause of annoyance, according to parenting website gurgle.com.

While conducting a survey of 1,000 mothers, it received dozens of testimonies from women who have confided that they can't stand their husband's mother.

The survey found that 39 per cent are annoyed at their mother-in-law criticizing their approach to child raising.

The mother-in-law interfering in day-to-day life (23 per cent) and 'babying' their son (20 per cent) were the next two biggest complaints.

Completing the top five gripes were spoiling the grandchildren (18 per cent) and turning up uninvited (7 per cent). Complaining about the mother-in-law has traditionally been associated with men, immortalized in jokes by comics such as Les Dawson and Bob Monkhouse.

"The key thing to remember here is that she doesn't think you're doing a bad job; it's just very hard for grannies to resist offering their own opinion if you're doing something slightly differently to how she would have done with her own children," the Daily Mail quoted Nifa McLaughlin, the website's editor, as saying.

"You're probably a bit less resistant to advice from your own mum, but with the in-law it can irk that much more, as you feel as if your authority is being undermined," McLaughlin added. (ANI)

totally true I guess it is upto us to take it in the right sense!

All women are going to be Mother in law someday or other , which a daughter in law fails to understand

I feel Media is more responsible  in Enterprising the character of  Mother  in law  to be cruel in the eyes of D In law. If  they stop promoting  such kinds of  TV serials and Cinemas , automatically the gap between  these  two,  will come down and cardinal relationship  we  will  be visualizing  soon. .What do u think ?

            I feel it is  in the hands of man folk. Every husband should realize his  duty and he must exhibit love towards  his wife , whenever  his daughter in law hurts the feelings of his wife., as posted by Govardhan here.  Many a time, usually we see  in every house , Father in law will be supporting his D in  law and this makes Mother in law feel alone.  Every mother in law is once  D in law .  So she knows pretty well the  difficulties of being D in Law too . But so many never understand this correctly . Many a time her own  husband becomes  the cause of  the unrest in the family . This lack of understanding or Mis understanding ,  often is  the   root cause for separate family systems we are watching  now a days .  If all family members sit together and  openly speak,  there wont be any scope for unhappiness or unrest  in the family. We can  be able to see join family system again which is beautiful always . Think over it and  reply please.


Love,

Yes it is probably more in the hands of the men than we even realize.  A man must leave his mother and form his own family.  And this is sometimes lost on a mommy's boy type of man.  

It means total and complete support of his wife in all circumstances.  If he disagrees, talk it over together and resolve issues.  Don't let someone else into your marriage, it is a recipe for disaster.
