Sounds like you have a childish and petty daughter. She needs to grow up and realize that everyone has their own opinions about others. You have ever right to like or dislike whoever you please and it isn't her business.

You need to just keep your mouth shut about your daughters mother-in-law. Her hate and spite is spawned from your hate and spite. If you show your daughters mom-in-law love,(or at least kindness) and respect, then she will show you the same.

Compromise with the mother in law. She probably isn't that bad a person once you get to know her. If this doesn't work, tell your daughter that you were her mother first, and that she should respect your opinion more than anyone Else's.

Out of respect for your daughter learn to tolerate her mother in law when you have to deal with her..You dont have to like her and you are entitled to your opinion by all means but to save the relationship with your daughter you may have to compromise your own feelings towards her mom in law..You may have to put up a front and bite your tongue more often than not but it will be worth it to save what you have with your daughter as well..=)

Stop worrying about how you feel and do your best to get along with your daughter's mother-in-law for her sake and your relationship's sake, and when she does make you mad, don't bother bitching to your daughter about it b/c she has her own problems and shouldn't have to be a "mother" to you!
You wanted to know the solution, like it or not, there it is.

Sue, keep your opinions of her mother in law to yourself. Obviously she must like the woman. I know it can be hard, but use someone else as your sounding board. Good Luck in repairing your relationship with your daughter.

Well, have you given her mother-in-law a chance?
If her mother-in-law really is a problem, try reasoning with your daughter, and understanding where she is coming from. Then there's always Dr. Phil... ; )

Oh, you think her new husband is OK with that?
Did you tell him how you feel about his mother?
Make an effort, can't you? She's part of your family now.
If you're not in, you can't win.
You must have had years of practice in getting along with people you didn't like, for the sake of your kids. Horrible teachers, bosses, parents of her friends? Use those skills now.

How old are you? I suspect twenty something. Children should stop having children, as you, and your daughter have done. Do the right thing and SLAP! the **** our of your daughter for being the obnoxious child you've raised. And then pat yourself on the back.

Just because you don't care for her mother-in-law doesn't mean that you can voice your opinions to her. Maybe she likes/loves her too. Try being more understanding and keep your feelings to yourself when they are negative.
