For me I don't have any problem at all with my mother in all she is very good to me but my only problem is my sister-in-law & father-in-law for they are so mean to my husband & I don't like the way they treat him even if he has sinned before but he is trying to make it up to them they just refuse to understand.

It is really hard for you. Sometimes I will feel angry because my mother-inlaw is too strict with my husband and always shout at him. He is not a little child anymore. He is an adult and father now. Maybe this is the only problem between my mother-inlaw and me.

I like my mother-in-law very much and we get along just fine. She lives in another town, but my husband and I visit her quite often, and I like visiting her. My former mother-in-law was very different. She was very critical and sarcastic, she wanted to decide how to decorate the rooms of our apartment etc and became angry when my ex and I didn't do things her way. I tried to get along with her, but I didn't feel at ease when she was there, because she constantly critized the things we did. I am really happy that my husband's mother isn't like that. She is a very nice person, and I enjoy talking to her and spending time with her.

My mother-in-law and I have a good relationship. Like all mothers, she does give me pointers on taking care of my 4-month old baby. That's okay because all the advices she gives me are culled from her experience. I learn a lot from her. What I like about her, too, is that she doesn't meddle too much on matters regarding me and her son and our baby. She's very supportive and I love her for that.

Sometimes differents can also be shared not always settled by quarreling.

When we first got married, we lived with my parents in law, and it was one hell of a period. I found out later that she was jealous of me, because before we got married, my husband ( her son) keeps bragging about me, how smart, what a good cook, how sweet...etc. So when we moved in, EVERY DAY she would find something to critize me, and when I defend myself, she would even start yelling. Finally we decided to move out, but that didn't stop her either. In fact, one of the reason why I decided for divorce was HER. But after we divorced for several years, she came to her senses and once at Christmas, she bought me a gift and asked me to forgive her.
