10 things mother-in-law should never say to daughter-in-law

1. “YOUR HOUSE IS A MESS.”

Try to respect the couple’s space, only giving your opinion when asked.

2. “MY SON HAS A SAD FACE. YOU FOUGHT?”

Don’t take sides in fights because when they make up, one will tell the other what you said.

3. “HI. I MISSED MY GRANDSON AND I DECIDED TO MAKE A SURPRISE VISIT.”

It’s better to be more absent than too present. And a surprise visit is a serious fault.

4. “YOU ARE NOT OUR FAMILY, THEREFORE YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT….”

Of course the daughter-in-law is part of the family. By the way, it was with her that her beloved son decided to spend the rest of his life.

5. “WOW, HOW DID YOU GET FAT!”

Don’t say that to your daughter-in-law. If it’s not to praise, it’s better to be quiet.

6. “IN MY TIME IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT. I WOULD NEVER ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO DO THAT.”

Do not meddle in the upbringing of grandchildren, even if you often take care of them while the parents are busy. Try to expose your ideas without imposing everything the way you want.

7. “YOU DON’T THINK YOU’RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY, DO YOU?!”

Don’t guess. If everything her daughter-in-law does or buys becomes a subject of criticism, she will no longer want to be with her.

8. “MY SON WAS MORE AFFECTIONATE TO ME BEFORE MEET YOU.”

Do not complain that your child has changed. Maintaining a good relationship with his daughter-in-law is critical because the two women have important and distinct roles in his life.

9. “MY OTHER SON, YES, CHOSE THE IDEAL WIFE”

Don’t put your daughter-in-law in embarrassing situations. The worst thing is being compared to someone else.

10. “WHY DO MY GRANDCHILDREN VISIT YOUR MOTHER’S HOUSE MORE THAN MINE?”

Avoid competing for the grandchildren’s attention. This puts everyone in a delicate situation. Try to be nicer and don’t forget you were once a daughter-in-law too.
