[quote=Anonymous]LISTEN to your DIL. Offer help, but if she declines, back off. Do not hover. Pay attention to her social cues - if she's uncomfortable with a subject, move on. She doesn't need to open up to you about everything. The more you push, the more she'll back away. Don't expect her to be just like you, or to change for you. Your son loves her the way she is. Stop trying so hard - she can see through it. Seems like most DIL's issues with MILs are that they judge or tell them what to do. So let her be herself, and be sensitive the the fact that she may not take advice from you or talk to you the same way as her own mother. Don't try to be her mother unless she is interested in that type of relationship. It's ok to not be BFF with her but you have to respect each other and get along.[/quote]
