[quote=Anonymous] As a woman, i've had 30+ years of my mother's personality, her overbearing tendencies (not abnormally overbearing but occassionally annoying), idosyncracies and unsolicited advice. I can reflect on our relationship and see that for my mom at least it's rooted in love and she has my best interest at heart. I can speak directly and frankly when I feel she is overstepping boundaries and she receives my words and adjusts accordingly. By contrast you don't meet you MIL until you're in your 20s/30s so you're less likely to extend that same grace and view comments through a negative lens. She may also get more easily offended it you reprimand her for something she says or does. For daughters with HEALTHY relationships with their parents I think their own parents are just easier to manage. [/quote]
