Mother in laws are always something that very many people call themselves a meeting before making any move because of how they are known. However, some are good and understanding, but if yours is one you gotta file a report first before confronting them, then consider taking note of this.
Note this only applies to your Mother in law
Her Food is Gross.
Don’t you dare! Actually, it’s always obvious that mothers are the best when it comes to cooking and they always wanna feel appreciated about what they have prepared.
And yeah it might not be well with you, maybe their food is overcooked or something it’s better if you just keep it to yourself and not ruin the moment and the good co relation that exists between the two of you.
Offers Bad gifts.
If honestly she does surprise you with gifts, then take it, not many do that out here. They may not please you, but it’s only fair when you take them and not be an ingrate.
Pretend if you have to, just don’t hurt her feelings by telling her you don’t like what she is offering.
You don’t wanna be around her.
A times you might feel like she is irritating in some way because of the way she acts and all that you cannot raise your voice or do anything, just accept the way she is keeping in mind that this is your partner’s parent and the last thing you want is to ruin the good relationship that exists between the two of you.
You don’t want her Coming Over.
This is something that millions of people are going through, it’s not just you alone. It can be hectic I know, having your in law in your roof especially for more than a week or whichever ain’t easy and as far as you want to stand and shout out. Calm down, take deep breaths and tell yourself that it shall pass.
Money Problems.
Having issues financially, maybe piling bills and loans that you are yet to pay piling on your door step is not something you clearly want to tell your in laws.
Of course, for one, they’ll start seeing you as a weakling and maybe interpret that you want a loan from them. Such matters are very sensitive and should only be talked by you and your partner or a credit counselor.
Earning a lot more.
Congratulations Son or to whoever this may concern, but nobody wants to hear that! You think everyone’s happy for you? Keep it to yourself, and thank God for it, stop spreading it all over what if something happens. Just because she’s your In law doesn’t mean you can trust her with everything that’s happening in your life.
Kids don’t wanna see your face ever.
Young children are known to bond with their Grandparents. But what about this… Your kids don’t want to see Grandma, they just interested in Grandpa, and Grandma sucks!. As a parent talk them down, don’t go filing this to her that you know what….. nobody wants bad vibes in the air.
Marital Issues.
Of course, almost everyone knows this as marriages keeps on being in existence issues will always come up, and it will leave the both of you to handle it to prepare for such and have a way to deal with it.
Avoid scenarios where she’s like I am going home, or you’re calling her mother about it, have some dignity dude! You’ll even end up loosing because her mother won’t side with you.
Your Future Plans.
For Instance, you may be having an idea in mind about something that you’re working on, and you are visualizing it in the next maybe few months or years.
Keep it to yourself until it happens, disclosing it to her is a mistake as she will hold you to it for eternity.
Bragging.
Don’t go telling her how much you are spending, even if how close you are….’ I bought that car for 15 million’ you think she’ll smile and say okay? She will start showing you how much of an extravagant you are when it comes to spending money and how your priorities are upside down, and surely you don’t wanna hear that.
