5. "But we did not," "You have to like this ..."
Your advice is so categorical that are more like orders. Or maybe it is not necessary to climb tips? Her own mother, too, is far from sugar. But her remarks are not perceived as painful (it to my mother for a long time and can be used to skip past the ears), and my mother will be able to stop in time and do not bring the case before the scandal. In the end, it's her mother.
In-law it is not so simple. Remember how you were brought up son. So whether you like to listen to advice twenty or thirty years ago? Again, be honest! Of course you have a wealth of experience, a neighbor's daughter gave birth recently, so you want to prevent errors in the family of his son.
After all, you want the best way! And she, the daughter, is not listening, and even resents such-and-so. You are trying to grandson! Or maybe it right? Whether it needs your advice? She herself asked you? - no. Well, leave tips for better times to yourself.
Believe me, not get something, you ask. And that's when you have every right to tell everything. And do not ask - say - What are my kids, all are able to do all know, ah well done! And let your girlfriends jealous.
They somehow do not get out of the sandbox, and output no grandchildren imposed on them, and you, and to work and to have time to go to fitness, and soak in the bathroom, a do over so many years - young grandmother now in vogue. Which children are great! Sorry for my grandmother!
6. was out of work.
Children do not ask for help? After you have planned, canceled meetings with her friends to sit with her grandson. And you are not invited to the assistants? What is the reason? Yes, you! That you have planned, you all decided for them.
And the children strangely plans. And helping them is not required. And look closely - you cope fine. What's wrong with the daughter? Will engraved assistant - you can be sure that if your help is really needed no help will not let you, and your enemies themselves will acquire.
And not now - because after a year will need your help, but it will ask whether you have a daughter in one day (or day) you refuse? Rather find another way to not find the anger on his head. Once you are denied, other times she would not be asking. Take watchful waiting, so reliable. And read the previous tip, Rejoice, how lucky son with his wife, all she does all the time to!
7. Are you bored?
You have plenty of time to devote to his grandson, and you are not invited. Think about your boredom - that's no reason to come to the children and to stop them, they already have enough worries with the baby. And the extra time would be nice to spend the favorite, gym, in this case fits perfectly!
8. Do not touch!
Often the mother of the newborn is not very nice attention to the child by strangers. (Alas, in the number of "outsiders" can get there and some of the relatives!) From the mom, this is reflected in the unwillingness to show the baby to feed, wash and swaddle it in someone else's presence, let visitors touch the child.
In fact, so it proves quite normal instinct to protect the calf, over time it passes the state itself. However, if others do not respect the feelings of the young mother will relate to its current state as normal or ill whims - the relationship is likely to be spoiled for a long time.
Step aside, this condition will soon be mother and she will offer you ponyanchitsya with the baby, will press - on the contrary aversion and reluctance to give you the baby will grow a hundredfold and secure for years to come.
Did you like this? Unfortunately, often fall into this trap in-law. She takes particular behavior of a young mother as a personal insult. (Especially since the time of birth of offenses already can accumulate quite a few.)
Of course, it seems that everything started happening for the sole purpose - to remove it from the child. The key word here - "I think"! You are all in my head to finish, all cooked the rest of it, and to the reality of your fantasies have nothing to do.
Young mother has every right not to want to touch the baby anyone. (Especially while feeding - breast-feeding should all live without any disturbances). She has the right to decide when, how and what exactly to do with the kid when and whom to invite to visit. After all, everyone knows how to react to the arrival of guests grudnichki. Do not create a new family problems, no matter how great was the desire to cuddle your little bundle!
9. Unannounced visits.
Frequent visits cause discontent daughters-in-law to their home. One of the highlights is the time when it comes to in-law, and that is to say "surprise effect" of its parish. It is clear that the house is not always perfect order, dishes sometimes waits in the wings in the sink, and the dust - on the shelves.
Often both spouses work, and the time for a household is very small. As the saying goes, so tired, "that forces barely enough to watch TV." The couple, who live separately from their parents perceive their visit as a visit to guests (especially the daughter), and to visit the guests made ready.
Daughter in law presupposes that look "second mother" critical, not friendly-justifying. And he did this because daughter often receive a portion of morals or pursed lips.
Some of the same in-law immediately rush for a rag and begin to get out of the way if they get nasty on the floor, as they do not rub off his own hand. Of course, it is humiliating for a daughter, so can we consider it strange that she does not love a surprise visit?
10. Finally, to admit that you are the mistress of your family.
A son of the family role of mistress belongs to another woman, not you, and that's fine, and so it should be. And let their family grows and acquires its own traditions.
Be sure that all the good of your family's son has already picked his. But their family can not exactly sound like your, and should not, right?
Try more trust in-law, and can it will be not so bad?
