Once upon a time, there was a mother-in-law so meddling and unbearable that when she died, they wrote on her grave: “Here she rests, and we all rest at home”… A joke that, beyond making us laugh, can remind her of anyone how different his family life would be if one day that inquisitive, stern and problematic lady who happened to be his mother-in-law moved far away or even went for a walk with the deceased in the joke.
¿ What kind of mother-in-law came tied to the love of your life? Although there are some wonderful and others quite good, there is no one who can erase the bad reputation that the mothers of couples have always had. The main complaint is that they are too nosy, nosy or ‘present’. They get into matters they shouldn’t have an opinion on, and “without realizing it” they begin to complicate life as a couple, even causing divorces.
And it’s not that mothers-in-law plan a war to mortify. By nature, almost everyone is critical and will always think there are better ways to cook, raise a baby, and run a home. Giving opinions, asking questions and finding out is the weapon that her maternal instinct uses to “protect her children” even when they get married and leave home. But the big difference between adored and hated mothers-in-law is that the former do not express everything they think, taking care of what comes out of their mouth, while the latter do not think about the poison that a critical tongue can release.
You can try to win over a mother-in-law, but deep down it won’t change. So don’t beat yourself up about trying to have the perfect loving mother in law who bakes cookies and invites you to tea. Be concerned that your partner makes it clear to her mother that you respect each space in the family.
A recent study establishes that those who feel rejected, belittled and even hated by their mother-in-law should not feel guilt According to the journal Evolutionary Psychological Science, it is a “genetic conflict” in which the mother-in-law acts unconsciously in favor of her descendant and does not look after the best interests of others. The same research also confirmed that the mother-in-law’s antipathy is due to the fact that she did not choose to have a connection, but simply to accept the children’s decision to mate… Remember, you are not a gold coin to be liked by everyone, including your mother-in-law .
