The family has always been an important part in our lives and mothers do all kinds of arrangements, work and sacrifices in pursuit of a happy family.
As good mothers and wives, we think of our children, but we are missing something. Have we thought about what kind of mother we are?
Since ancient times, we have been thought of a mother, as “possessive mother.” We see in her a rival to not let your child be happy, but not all cases are the same …
In many households, the subject of the mother-in-law has been discussed. They do not allow the wives to have their husbands take care of the children.
The mother-in-laws always say they knows best that what makes the child and even more so.
I think there are simple rules for future mothers-in-law.
These rules are easy to follow and I believe we will be fulfilling the mental preparation for the future stability of our children.
15 RULES TO BE A GOOD MOTHER-IN-LAW
- Accept that the child has grown up and like we did one day, they also form their own family.
- We should not expect to change our son-in-law or daughter-in-law. They have their own personality.
- Do not expect about how your daughter attends and serves her child like the way you did, each on has its own way of being.
- Do not allow our son to be unfaithful to his wife.
- Do not allow our son-in-law to be unfaithful to his wife.
- Do not expect our grandchildren to grow up like how we raised our children. We do not know how our grandchildren were raised in their home.

Living with a person who is a perfect stranger is not easy. But did we not pass through the same thing? To educate and teach our children is our obligation.
The peace of their homes depends on us because if our experiences as wives were not very pleasant, we do not want our daughters to pass the same fate.
Take care of your in-laws very well. Let our grandchildren ride on your lap like the day we had our children.
Let us live again the lovely experience of having a bit of heaven in our arms.
Let us see in our sons and daughters the continuation of our children, after all it is what they chose, and what is important to us is that they are happy.
Just know that we have done our duty as mothers and we are fulfilling our duties as mothers-in-law.
