Joint Family:Problems with Mother-in-law
2007-07-24
Name: Radha puri



Hello everyone,
This happens in every family. I have been married from last 5 yrs. My mother in-law is good but till date I could not understand her, whats going in her mind. My husband is the only child. Twice or thrice a month, she argues or fights with me without any specific reason. My husband & my father-in-law used to takes her sight even if she' s wrong. That periond, I feels so alone & think of divorce but I have a 4 yrs daughter & I do still love my in-laws & husband. I don' t understand how to tackle all this. I always tries to live happy & adjustable with them.

I really understand your position as I am in the same situation. My husband is an only child and we live with my inlaws. whenever my mother inlaw fires or shouts at me for no reason, my father in law and husband always take her side. I too feel lonely then and want to separate from my husband. But that is not the solution. To avoid my MIL' s ways , I have my own life. I work and enjoy at my workplace and then I dont feel lonely and manipulated. otherwise, my MIL rules in the house. get yourself busy in some productive work and get involved in other things,. Enjoy your life on ur own and dont give her importance on such occasions. Also talk to your husband abt it. explain to him how u adjust to his parents and how she behaves with you. unless u let him know your feelings he will never understand them.All the best!

It happens in very family. Even my husband is aware of my position but will never take my side in front of his parents. This is the truth. Men will seldom come on their wive´ s side. It hurt me a lot in the beginning but now I am fine with it. As to inlaws, they will somehow or the other try to find faults in you. When I used to get all the things done in the house, then also they had something or the other to say. so now I dont take any load for stuff, whatever I can get done easily I do, and just chill out. as to screams and shouts by my MIL, i will get any ways, so why sweat the small stuff!

Well, thanks for your advice but I suppose there no way to talk about all this to hubby coz he´ s already aware of what´ s going on in house but still he keeps his mouth shut. I am a working women & I do take very good care of my family in all terms but still my MIL wants me to do all the work even of kamwali baai & kapadedonewali. Listen, if you have already maids in your home before marriage then why I have to work all this atleast after marriage. There are so many other things to work around such as room & kitchen decor. I really gets upset when even after doing a lot she says you do nothing. Oh! my god, help me out plz.
