Can you be friends with your mother-in-law

Re: Can you be friends with your mother-in-law

:mash: this has been an uplifting read; that you are on such friendly terms with your MIL, pray that this only continues after marriage inshAllah :slight_smile:

thats really cool babe im happy for u i guess ur mil is genuienly nice towards everyone choti moti larayee ho he jati hai even mother daughters fight

oh wow!thats great!that sounds really interesting :)..
yes,its totally upto the girl to keep that bond,but it depends on the mother-in-law too.i believe,both should be loving and caring towards each other,then only a great relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law would be possible..

Re: Can you be friends with your mother-in-law

i hope inshallah i shall have a good bond with ma future mother in law, who ever she may be.

i hope so too..:)

i have a good relationship with my MIL....i mean we are not as close to be sharing bedroom stuff but i treat her like my ammi and she treats me like her daughter...like for example..before going out she will ask me which dress should she wear...i also remind her to wear some jewelry and makeup and she loves that cuz before me she always used to forget that part and sometimes to make her feel good i ask her the same....she talks about her past and how her inlaws treated her....and how she tries not to make the same mistakes....so overall i think we have a very healthy relationship. :)

realllllllllyyyy? WOW! heh that s soo sweet..ur lucky..ive never heard this 4rm a bahu b4.. mayb they rnt all the same.

That is so sweet mashallah! Nice to hear some positive stories for a change! x

It should be both ways. Not just the daughter in law having to be nice. In my family, mostly they still want the girls to be silent, even when the family in law insults the girl, they want her to be silent, have no opinion, always agree with the family in law, etc. That's wrong in my opinion, I think the daughter in law should try to understand and respect the inlaws, but the inlaws should try to understand and respect the daughter in law too. I think the ladies who have a kind mother in law are very lucky indeed!
