Dislike of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a fairly common problem in many families. Two women share the love of one man. How to deal with jealousy of a daughter-in-law?
Instructions
Step 1
You should not examine the daughter-in-law under a microscope, looking for even the slightest flaws. There are no ideal men and women. Your son also has his weaknesses and imperfections. More important is how young people cope with this, how they complement each other. After all, when a man and a woman suit each other, feel happy together, they gradually change for the better, strive to become better for their other half. So, often inveterate party-goers turn into lovers of the hearth. And most importantly, a person has appeared in your son's life who, just like you, loves him very much.
Step 2
A mother-in-law who finds fault with her daughter-in-law from the outside looks comical and stupid for the slightest reason. This behavior is very conspicuous and becomes a subject of fun for the whole family. Be wiser, do not present yourself from a bad side in front of relatives and friends. Maternal jealousy is a fairly natural phenomenon, but do not go too far. With such behavior, you not only get your daughter-in-law, but also upset your son, possibly provoking conflict situations in his family.
Step 3
Don't try to control the life of a young family. You do not need to often call and check if everything is in order, you can not come to visit without an invitation to see if the daughter-in-law is looking after your son well enough. By doing this, you will only irritate the young family, conflict situations will arise, as a result, you will simply alienate your son.
Step 4
Try to distract yourself from unpleasant thoughts. Now your son has his own family, you have yours. It should be so. Find yourself a new hobby, hobby. Meet with friends, try to do something for yourself that you have been postponing for a long time due to lack of time. Do not worry, your child will never forget you, because he has only one mother. He will definitely find time to visit or invite him over.
Step 5
Think about your relationship with your mother-in-law. Would you like the same behavior on her part, or you also suffered from the obsessive attention of your husband's mother. Calm down, consider the situation. Your son has his own family, in which he is happy, what could be a better reward for a mother than an arranged, happy life for her child?
