7 Things Mother-In-Laws Secretly Want to Tell Us Straight From Their Hearts

Getting along with your mother-in-law is really a difficult task, studies say. There are many reasons behind this, but the solution may be to try to maintain friendly relations with your husband’s mother. However, it is sometimes difficult to understand her motives and intentions.

we, from awesome.club, we’ve made a list of things your mother-in-law would probably want you to know, so we’ll share it with our readers. And don’t forget to check out our bonus at the end.

I love my daughter-in-law! I had two horrible mothers-in-law, which shocked my young self as I had never seen such a thing! I do everything to have a good relationship, if my son loves her then that’s fine! © firefightersgirl76 / Reddit

I always feel really guilty because when my husband and I were together, my mother-in-law would try to call me, and I’m very introverted, so I rarely picked up the phone to talk to her.

Well, about a year and a half later, there was an incident with my stepdaughter, who came to live with us full time, and my mother-in-law was on the phone with me for hours, being very supportive. Less than a month later, she died unexpectedly. I never had the opportunity to meet her in person, just by video call. I miss her so much, I can still see her in my head and I can hear her voice. I hate that I didn’t answer the phone every time she called me. This is a regret I will always have to live with. © Hero_For_a_Day2 / Reddit

I’ve discovered over the years that it doesn’t mean they don’t like you, but that they don’t know how to relate to you. Often, the mother-in-law has to be careful to do the right thing. Don’t expect her to love you like she does her son. In fact, don’t expect anything. We have no idea how other people were created, which might be different from what you experienced.

My mother-in-law always has time for me. She is always cheerful and puts others before herself. She treats me like a daughter. She never takes sides when I argue with her son. Always offers unbiased opinions. She is a shoulder to cry on and a pillar of strength in my life. © goblinqueenac / Reddit

My mother-in-law is actually my saving grace. She lives less than a minute from our house and totally accepted to be an amazing babysitter! I really don’t know what I would do without having her to support me. She also takes care of my son three days a week while I work. I’m on maternity leave now after having my second child, but she still takes my oldest son for a few hours a few days a week, and one day a week she takes care of my 2 month old.

I mean, she is very nice with my son and he is very spoiled when he is at her house but i remember my grandparents were like that🇧🇷 He loves his grandparents and they love him. © babymommao / Reddit

When my husband and I were getting married, I asked my mother-in-law (we have a great relationship) if she somehow felt that I was taking her son away. She said: “No, now he’s your problem!” 🇧🇷 dm_me_kittens / Reddit
