Mommy Wars and Competition - Your Mother-In-Law

During the dating stage, when we meet our boyfriend’s mom, most of us tried to make our future MIL see that their son has found the girl he’s going to spend his life with. We smile, we act nice and then came marriage.

I cannot blame if there are wives who believed that once a man is married to them, they can only be the woman in their life. We wanted every part of our man.

However, somebody surely have brought your true love to existence right? Someone who has sacrificed a lot and someone has nurtured your husband to be the man that he is. Fate may have brought you and your husband together but your MIL brought your husband into this world.

As we are living in the real world, differences are inevitable. You might have been brought up differently by your own mother and your husband has a mother that brought him up in a different style. These differences may cause serious stress not only with the MIL relationship but worse, your relationship with your husband.

If your husband and you hadn’t discussed how much your own families will be attached to your future family, you might get overwhelmed when you start hearing some remarks from your MIL.

Let’s face it. Your MIL knows how your husband is at home. She knows what your husband is like when hungry, what food comforts him when he is stressed and what’s he like at home. So welcome more information. It doesn’t mean that you have to abide every bit. Try absorbing some of those “classified intelligence” and put a dash of your own signature.

It is possible to hear a few uncanny remarks. The trick is not react with hostility. If you utter a word just to explain yourself, things might get worse. If you want to explain, explain to your husband. Explain with love and good intentions.

If a man is having conflicts with his own mom, he won’t say a word. He’d probably keep mum. He does this because of his respect for the person who cared for him. Try doing it the way your husband does.

If you think your husband is giving more affection to his mother than you, you’ shouldn’t compare. The love for a mother is not comparable with his love for you. The more he shows compassion to his mother, the more he sees your sacrifices as a mother.

Let me end this post with a quote for all of us with Mother-In-Laws:

“A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest”
