Do you think that mom-in-law understands how to live with daughter-in-law if mom-in-law never lived with hers?

Question

if mother-in-law never had chance to live with her mother-in-law, can she understand the feeling about daughter-in-law?

Answer 1

If she is a typical mother-in-law, she may not understand. But if she is a good human being with interst in reading and learing from other's experiences, she will know

Answer 2

For a mother-in-law to be a mother-in-law then at one time she would have to be a daughter-in-law in most cases. So I think she would understand.

Answer 3

Living with an in law is generally not a good idea. Especially if mother in law is always argumentative and opinionated.

Answer 4

To my knowledge the feeling is one for all either mother in law or daughter in law. One should respect others feeling , All human beings will accept this. It is nothing but you are hungry you understand this, like this you understand other person's hungry. That is all Yours VRVRAO

Answer 5

No question of living or not living with her mom-in-law in her days...It just depends on the background of the Mom's own family., on the tradition that her parents' family had, ..and of course, equally upon U too. ...My mom (not alive now), was cruelly tortured jointly by my father's mother & my father's elder brother's wife (I was very very young then, yet I do still remember). But U know, my mother loved my wife like anything...During her last days, my mother always preferred to live with us (my wife), I am proud of that.....So what I have told above is JUST TRUE.

Answer 6

I guess it would be difficult....but these days mother-in-laws are kinda ok I guess.Its basically how u react and how u behave that they respond to u.I have a good relationship with my mother-in-law.There are ofcourse a lot of changes in opinion....some we can adapt to and others its difficult.I normally speak to her very openly if I disagree about something..I speak firmly but very amicably and with respect.One thing I have felt is not to be scared & submissive neither should u be arrogant and rude...always have a smile and listen to what they have to say before u respond...and then u can let out ur view.Once u win their confidence...its just another home.After all they are our husband's parents equally important to him as our parents are to us.
Frankly I feel mother-in- law is just another person like the other relatives....love & respect them & they'll love and respect u too.

Answer 7

You made your person mattress now sleep in it. Sorry to be harsh yet you're in charge for this difficulty, YOU permit your better half's mom walk on you interior the 1st place,YOU acted like a door mat, you desperate to head in with your in-rules, so why do YOU whinge now? Your judgements have been all incorrect from the very initiating. Hiding in the back of some form of "Florence Nightingale Syndrome" won't help and does not excuse you. once you marry somebody, your marriage might desire to consistently come first, in the previous the rest, alongside with moms and dads, in-rules, buddies, kin, etc etc...you place different issues first and now your marriage is at stake:( i don't think of there's a lot you're able to do different than submitting for a divorce.

Answer 8

I do not think it makes a difference if she lived with her mother in law or not. Each need to respect each other and set boundaries and house rules. By doing that there is peace for everyone.

Answer 9

Well this is really tricky question, my suggestion to u would be is to deal the matter at fist with ease( what I mean with ease is be good, helpful and friendly with Ur mother-in-law), I hope it will work and won't be a problem, but if at all this idea goes down then try with diplomacy (like President US and Russia generally do), bcoz its the only option ur left with, harshness won't take u anywhere.

Answer 10

a mother in law can NEVER understand how to live with a daughter in law...
