[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think significant part of it is people being competitive and obsessed with being the most popular, the best liked etc. Instead of doing what works for them and dealing with MIL not liking it or complaining about it, they suck it up in front of MIL, make themselves and their families jump through the hoops, all in order to fit some unnecessary and self-imposed image of Perfect DIL.[/quote] I think this can be true if the DH is able to set boundaries and has no issue with his wife refusing to overextend herself. In this case, the wife would just be acting as a martyr in an effort to be liked. Often though, the DH, causes the real issues because he throws a fit if his wife doesn’t go along with everything his mother wants. In this scenario, DW has the choice to either cause a rift in her marriage by speaking up or going along with DH and MIL so as to maintain peace in the marriage [/quote]
