I just can't stand all her little suggestions. She is not deliberately mean but it sure seem like it sometimes. She has an opinion regarding everything from how certain styles of clothing look on me to taking care of the house.
Yikes, I married my husband not his mother. While I do complain to him about his mother, he really doesn't have a clue about what I am talking about. His mother loves her only son and want only the best for him and I have to live up to this standard.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding a way to handle her without blowing up at her?
Help - My Mother-In-Law is driving me crazy.

Report AbuseJust let it go in one ear and out the other. i have been married for nearly 5 years and had a son and I heard it all the time about everything. Every time it was well when I was married to his Dad or when I had the boys......I so know what you are talking about, but just smile and say thanks for the tip and be the better person. Speaking from experience,I went to express how I felt about it and it exploded in my face. Now her other son has a woman and kids thank god (plus we moved about 45 min away ha ha)
Good luck sweetie I know it sucks.

Report Abuseyou married a man who is everything to his mother.you can please your mother-in-law by caring for your husband in a way your mother wants.if you want to make changes it must be gradual. generally mother feels lonely when a daughter-in-law comes in a family.you make her feel wanted and irreplacable.with the help of your husband you will definitely win her heart.

Report AbuseJust live your life and do the best you can. Her opinions are just that opinions and we all have them ! Learn how to be in control of your household and you'll see she'll buttoff soon enough. Good luck...I know it can be tough, mine was giving me a lot of problems too but I made it clear from the get go that I would NOT stand for that. She's learned to back off and I feel much much better now :)
