Get to know her and find something that you have in common

Always be polite to her, but most importantly, make it very obvious that you love and support her son and are taking care of him. That's all a loving mom really wants to see (if she's a freak, there's nothing you can do to please her anyway). Throw in an occasional comment that she must have been a great mother since her son grew up to be such a wonderful man.
If she's rude to you for some reason, don't let her walk all over you, but still be polite...but firm...that you disagree or are going to do things your way...but "thank you for your input, Mom."

Unfortunately, I have a mother in law straight from hell. She does not except my daughter from a previous relationship, only the daughter I have with her son. She is a caniving little witch, but I don't have to live with her or make her happy because she is not the one I'm with. Just be yourself. If your hubby loves you and you make each other happy, then that really is all that matters.

if she has a bad attitude towards you then all you can do is be yourself and try not to get her mad [that could be hard though] I had a father in law who though I was a loser and no good, being polite was a waste of time

Smile a lot but don't say much in her presence. Not only does that drive 'em nuts, but they can't complain about it! *cheeky grin* Trust me... my mother-in-law is a world class ***** and even she can't figure out a way to complain about someone being quiet and smiling!

Trying to please the mother-n-law is a task. It depends on how she see you in this marriage with her child. If there is unpleasant feelings, it is going to be a long road. If pleased stay your way and change for no one. You can not be frightened into changing to suit them and their personal life style. We are individuals in life and no one or anyone can change us except for our ownselves.

Be really great to her kid. She may not like the way you dress, drive, eat, whatever, but when she sees how great you treat her child. She'll ease up. At least my mom did. and you will have her respect.

Be nice to her son when you're together, buy her stuff, spend little time with her.
and if she's still not pleased, then I'm sorry to say that she's just a B******

If she dislikes you ,well just be polite and nice to her. Just be yourself. I had one for 30 years till she pass away. Take her out to dinner and drives when possible.

As a mom-in-law, don't try to please her. Be yourself and please yourself and your spouse. Mom-in-law will either see and appreciate the truth in that or not. For me, all that matters is that my son is happy.

You have to know what she wants from you. I was looking at her like a parental figure, but she really wanted to be my friend. Now that I know what she wants, we have a great relationship. If you guys really don't get along now, simply ask her, "What is it that I can do to please you?" You may be very suprised.
