Daughter-in-Law and Mother-in-Law

Yahoo's Shine posted an article this week with a few tips on what mother-in-laws want their daughter-in-laws to know in order to keep things comfortable in your relationship with them.

1. Don't push them off to the side, they want to be included too.
2. Don't put them in the middle either.
3.Expect it to take time to develop a relationship with your mother-in-law.
4. Don't look at her as a threat
5. Do not patronize her.
6.Telling her what a good job raising her son is always a welcome compliment.
7.Don't put the pressure on her son to be your everything.
8. Take a stance for yourself.
9. Balance is key with children.
10. Don't share too much info with her.

Hope this is can offer a little help with your mother/daughter-in-law relationships.  When all else fails, a little humor will help to get you through....
