a good primer for mother-in-laws of difficult daughter in laws?

Question

THERE MUST BE GOOD ADVICE BOOKS FOR MOTHER-IN-LAWS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULT DAUGHTER-IN LAWS-----HELP!

Answer 1

Amazon.com has some really good and cheap ones. However the book is not the answer, you should get together with the DIL and define what type of relationship that you would like to have with your her and your son. Do this in the presence of your son. And realize and accept that that the type of relationship you want, your daughter may not be willing to have. She is trying to establish her family. You have to understand, SHE is now the most important woman in his life, you are still imprtant, but your demands need to be met by your husband instead of your son. If you don't have a man, get a hobby.

Answer 2

Face the facts. Your son married her and he loves her. You don't have to accept her behaviour, but you do have to accept she also loves your son and maybe you have too much time on your hands. Something seems just not right. Are you telling us the whole story? Are you also being difficult?

Answer 3

Your son love his wife? Then back off. Maybe she thinks that you are a difficult MIL.

Answer 4

if not maybe we should write one. I guess that we have to respect her and try to understand that she is doing the best she knows how. I personally could blow mile wide holes in that one but my son is not willing to listen to me and I do have to commend him for sticking up for his wife even though I would have put her out to the curb, years ago

Answer 5

Don't worry about her too much just make yourself scarce and don't fight with her ! She is probably just jealous of you !

Answer 6

Ignore them and make yourself as scarce as possible.
