The grumpy and ubiquitous mother-in-law is an eternal image from numerous anecdotes. But in practice, you shouldn't conform to it. It is much more correct to jointly create an atmosphere in the house that will provide everyone with the desired comfort and help to find a common language.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't teach your daughter-in-law about life. It is your right to give advice, but it is not her responsibility to accept it. Do not push or demonstrate the superiority of your experience and skills. Better to subtly help to channel the daughter-in-law's abilities in the right direction.
Step 2
Be attentive and tolerant, close your eyes to minor domestic troubles, show wisdom and keep silent where a dispute can arise from scratch. Tact and understanding will certainly be appreciated, even if it takes time.
Step 3
Don't talk about what you do best, whether it's cooking or cleaning the apartment. Be lenient, you are older and have gained more practice in your life. But once you were a young housewife, beginning to comprehend the intricacies of housekeeping. Help the daughter-in-law to improve in her endeavors, do not be zealous with criticism.
Step 4
Become a friend to your daughter-in-law. Do not get into quarrels between your son and his wife, remember, these are their family affairs, in which there is no third place. And even more so, it is not worth it, without understanding, to take the side of the son. If you need to take part in a conflict, spend your energy on reconciling the parties so that, with your help, they can hear each other.
