loved all ur comments dears and i didn't know that so many members here are married and we have the same problems ! :D
my problem with my MIL is that we are completely opposite..our choices, our thinking is completely different from each other..strangely, my hubby and i have a good level of understanding..we have similar likes and dislikes....and that's why my hubby and my MIL don't get along with each other ! they keep fighting or arguing most of the time..and i become the sandwich bec. i'm always blamed for it (i don't understand by what logic) 🤣 i've told my hubby clearly tht plz don't fight with ur mom bec. she always thinks tht i'm gossiping against her (and the truth is that i and my hubby NEVER talk abt our families..i hate to gossip..may be tht's why till date i manged to maintain peace back home :))
My MIL expects me to do everything but she never says it..i don't know why..... thts why therez a communication gap between us.. so i do whatever i feel right..now sometimes some problem crops up but it's ok....i took a long time to understand her and adjust with her but now touchwood, all's well ! kabhi khushi kabhi gham laga rehta hai...but life is not tht difficult which it seemed when i was newly married..
someone told me one thing n i registered it in my mind..and that was..your MIL can NEVER take your mother's place so it's useless to look for ur mother in ur MIL...Next, YOU can never become your MIL's daughter so never even try ! MIL, DIL, mother, daughter, each relation has it's own place and importance ! so accept the reality ...things will be easy...
I've seen bad MILs, DIL's, I've seen the best MIL's , DIL's in my family! but yes, SOME MIL's are really incurable 👎🏼 so it's better if u apply "tit for tat" tactics there..n if it doesn't work , talk to your husband, n if that doesn't work, find a solution yaar..therez a solution to every problem in this world ! :)
