I have apologised to her but she is giving me "the silent treatment". Any suggestions please?

you already apologized dear Heart. Your mother-in-law is giving you the silent treatment because she is frustrated. If you do not know what the fuss is all about, why not ask her? It is always better to keep the dialogue open when there is something like that happening. If you see that she continues the silent treatment after you ask what this is about, then I would ignore her attitude and go about my business as if nothing happened and you put the issue behind you. You could suggest that she does the same and start anew for 2007.
Happy new year to you and your family, including your mother-in-law. Love and peace to you all

Well, without knowing the thing that was said...I can only give an answer based on common knowledge. Most mother-in-laws despise their son's wife from the beginning. You'll never be good enough for her baby boy..no matter if ur perfect. But the fact of the matter is...ur not perfect. We all make mistales! I don't know how ur relationship is with her (or was before this) but if it was a good one...then she'll come around sooner or later. But if it wasn't so greak ne way...then just think of it this way...u married her son...not her!! If he loves you...then that's all u should worry about. U can't help if she took something the wong way and u made ur effort to make things right but she is immature about this. U have done all you can. Just talk to your hus. and see how he feels about it all. See if he can explain it to his mom...if not...don't even bother with it at all!!

If you can, take her aside and very genuinely explain the misunderstanding. Tell her that the last thing you want is for there to be bad blood between the two of you and that when she's upset, you're upset. Other than that, try to get your husband to vouch for you and just be as genuine as possible. You may have to wait a while, but she'll probably cool. If not, don't sweat it. She's just a mother in law.

You need to let her "cool off" and in the meantime I would give her a card and maybe explain it to her in writing. Let her know that you are sorry for the misunderstanding and Hope that you guys can fix things!!

If you've done your part and apologized then the rest is up to her. First don't apologize for something you are not sorry for though. If she took something the wrong way that's on her. Don't ever feel sorry for your feelings/opinions !

It sounds like she is just looking for a reason to be mad at you, and this was it. You appologized, so you have done your part. Now she needs to get over it. Don't worry about it anymore. If she cannot forgive you, then she is just showing how immature she is.

Pray for her,and pray the 35 Psalm. She will come to you after you pray the Psalm because she will have to forgive you or go to Hell. God will deal with her heart.

be straight forward and ask if you upset her cause its better to find out whether it did or not than to always wonder, it may also bring about a new respect she will have towards you

You apologised and there is nothing more that you can do. Let her get over it.
