A few years ago, a bride to be, mentioned what she thought her fiance's mother was "supposed" to do.
BTB:"Shouldn't his mother, like welcome me to the family. Call me and say something about.....?"
M: "Maybe she thinks the same thing about you?"
In-Law
relationships can be sticky, but when you are "like Vivian", it is a
perfect union. My mother an I were adopted by the Etheridges and had
been going to many of the family gatherings for years. Gerry, the
family matriarch, always had an open heart and door. So when Vivian
married her son she became the 7th child. Their relationship was a
strong one, sharing Sunday dinners, annual BBQ's and holiday fair. It was the perfect relationship from the beginning, to the day Gerry passed away in 2008. This was
made possible because both accepted each other, bumps and all.
I
am not a relationship expert, but like a bartender, hair dresser, or
cab driver I have a unique point of view. If the relationship is rocky,
look at yourself, you may be the one rockin' the boat. Your
Monster-in.....sorry Mother-in law may be a bit difficult, but she created the love of your life.
Below and idea that can help smooth ruffled feathers.
