omg i always tend to feel akward with my bf's parents especially mom..its like i have to be as good as her...(sigh)
The Holidays can be the toughest when dealing with a MIL who does not like you. Do not set the standard of giving in to her, to make her happy and you miserable. I tried that, and I always regretted giving in. Now, I focus on My Family and what makes me happy and my husband and kids happy.
Think about it Ladies - My husband would never go out of his way to comprise himself for anyone in my family happy except for me. I would not want him too! And if for example my brother or father did not like him... Believe me he would not follow any of the Rules listed in the video. He would stand his ground and do what makes him happy. He would be himself - they would have to expect him or not....
PS
I do the same went it comes to his family - I have been Married 27 years.
ooooooooooooh mothers lol my husband's mother is nice actually but its always scary to talk to her cause i feel im gonna say somthing that will make her hate me lol parents judge everything
oh my god i have the same problem i'm marrying him this fall she likes to wear tops that show things if you know what i mean and she gets anything like that i'm going to tell her right out it's my day and your suppose to be my mother in law and your not acting like it but yes i know what you mean
one should never have to put forth this much effort. a relationship with a mother-in-law should come natural. anything more, than this is not a good relationship. a good relationship with a husband or boyfriend includes a good relatiobship with his family, you can't have one and not all.
Sorry, Shameika, any relationship takes a lot of effort and you need to work hard to work it out with your mother-in-law. You both love the same guy, and you have that in common, but you have to understand, she's not your mom and will never be. So you have to let her be who she is and never try to change her.
These sound like you're kissing ass to his mother...just be your self, if she doesn't like it, too bad for her. It's not her relationship.
i would never intruduce a girl to my mom she hates girls so much she would probably deck the first girl i brought home
