Misty,
Your MIL so mean to you. Could it be that you did not provide a
grandchild to them ?
I know some MIL purposely want to chase the DIL out because they
want the son to marry someone who is willing to give them
grandchildren.
Also, shouldn't your husband stop complaining or update the marital
problems to your MIL ? I mean, no wonder your MIL is so unaccepting
of you.
Which mother wouldn't be protective of their own son , after
knowing the son is having problem with his wife ?
I know of someone, who had a argument with her husband.. the MIL
found out about it and told them to get divorce.. she even insist
she will take care of the grandchildren so the wife can get
lost.
That someone's husband is my older brother.
I pity my SIL, so I told my brother to stop talking about the
marriage to my mom. I told him, what he is doing is partly the
reason why our mom dislike my SIL.
After the chat, my brother stopped as he also don't want to cause
the SIL and mother relationship to deteriorate any further.
Everytime my mom ask him about his marriage, he just say "
Good".
Now, all is quite peaceful between them... my mom still grumble
about my SIL to me, but it's better I be the receiving end. I just
nods and pretend I'm listening lah.
Throughout the episode, I realised that my brother.. who is the son
and the husband actually played a very crucial role in the
tripartite relationship.
On another note.....
Sometimes I wonder, the MIL is a daughter too, and they are also
mothers themself.. so why become so mean to someone else's daughter
???
DIL didn't sell themselves into the family, they joined them
through marriage.
By the way, wouldn't it be better to have a maid ?
