My article is addressed to girls, women, daughters-in-law and wives. By getting married with your spouse, you also get a mother-in-law. How to create a good relationship with the person closest to your husband? How to please your mother-in-law, what to do, how to behave to please your future mother-in-law? You just need to pick up the “key”! In this article we will talk about the most common types (types) of mothers-in-law, and how to build relationships with each type, how to win favors, and what gifts will be pleasant. And you will be happy! Our parents were given to us from birth, thanks to them we are who we are. But we choose our friends and life partner ourselves. It is very important for a girl to remember that her chosen one’s mother has been a very important person in his life for a long time, so building a relationship with her potential mother-in-law should take this into account. It’s not without reason that they say that when a mother-in-law loves her daughter-in-law, then she gets a daughter. In order to organically enter a new family and not find an enemy in the person of your mother-in-law, you will need not only love for your husband. Show respect to your spouse’s mother and do not forget about signs of attention, which always help improve relationships between people. Below, as a family psychologist and psychotherapist in Almaty, I propose to determine what type of mother your mother-in-law is, and what gifts or tokens of attention are preferable for her. Mother-in-law-housewife As a rule, this is a woman whose social status is very high, she is a good specialist and is in demand in her profession. Her energy is enough not only to solve production problems, but also to influence the fate of her loved ones. She is like the six-armed goddess Kali - she manages to do everything everywhere. Her house is like a picture: neatly tidied and crisp with cleanliness, and meals in her house consist of at least three courses. If you find yourself next to such a mother-in-law, know that she will not tolerate rivalry in her kingdom. Be flexible, unobtrusively offer your help with the housework and often admire her culinary talents, but under no circumstances take the initiative into your own hands. It is not recommended to give kitchen utensils and all kinds of tablecloths and towels to this type of mother-in-law. But a luxurious terry robe or a bottle of popular perfume will be very favorably received. Intellectual mother-in-law Conversations about the influence of painting on modern man, a love of the classics, both in music and in literature - all this is typical for a woman who is more passionate about food for the mind than for the stomach. Such a mother-in-law does not burden herself with everyday life and does not have complexes about the pile of dishes in the sink or the dust on the bookcases. Reading a book or a show on the Kultura channel gives her more pleasure than standing idle in the kitchen. In her refrigerator you can always find a variety of frozen foods, instant foods and other fast food. If you are lucky enough to have a “mom” of this type, we recommend sealing the bonds of your friendship with a gift that will be appreciated higher than homemade cakes or a delicacy. The best gift from you to an intellectual person will be a book. Choose from expensive illustrated art books or best-selling books in deluxe editions. A licensed CD with a movie or music can also be chosen as a gift. Mother-in-law is a businesswoman It is difficult to surprise a person who carefully monitors her appearance, is passionate about yoga and fitness, follows a diet and is in the trend of everything that happens in the world of fashion and cosmetics. Such a woman surrounds herself with comfort and luxury. She has a luxury car and a country house at her disposal. As a rule, this type of mother carefully selects her daughter-in-law, making sure that her son’s chosen one is a girl from a family who has a high social status. Due to her busyness and self-preoccupation, she is very indifferent to the choice of her son. The best sign of attention from you for such a woman
