it's a tough one. ask to go shopping to get things for the house together, or ask for recipes after eating a meal she has cooked. ask to see old pictures of her, maybe wedding? or baby pixs of ur hubby?
good luck

Mother-in-law is after all a mother. Treat her as your mother and you will see that… half of your problems are solved.
Today’s young girl would some day, definitely have a mother-in-law in her family and there after she becomes a mother, followed by a period when she turns into a mother-in-law herself.
It is essential for us to take the entity of a mother-in-law quite seriously. People tend to make fun of this relation and the same trend would be projected in films and TV serials. A dedicated decision should be taken to attach proper honor and importance to this entity.
Do not be scared of her she is yours and you are hers. So, meet her in a natural way without any preparations or preconceived plans or tricks… you would find her like something you might have liked to have… it is always good to trust more people… why to be suspicious about everybody around.
Good Luck… the world is not that bad…

There is no really good way to get pally with your mother-in-law just show her respect and be nice to her. And maybe she will to the same with you.

Be nice, polite as you would anyone else. I have the most wonderful mother in law. She never butts in, sometimes offers advice but very seldom. Realizes her son even tho he is her son can be a butthead at times and stays out of my way when he and I are fighting.. She knows I am an adult married to her adult son and she is a GOD send. I love her very much

Ask her for stories about what the spouce was like as a child. Ask her for a copy of her favorite recipe and cook that the next time she comes over for dinner. Invite her out to lunch and shopping. Call her up Sunday afternoon just to say HI.

Be yourself and remember you married the daughter not the mother. You live with the daughter and not with the mother. So be yourself and your Mother in law will respect you for being you and not pretending to be someone that you are not!

Don't feel bad if you can't, many try but fail. Just concentrate on your spouse, and your own relationship. Let your mother in law concentrate on her relationships, no stress that way.

when they become mother in law, by that time most of female pass thru menopose and that leads to insecurity, fustration, feeling of unwanted.. as new person in her life is daughter in law she become the victim easily. there is no cure of emotional instablity.. try to understand this and live the life happily with your hubby and kids..
