Not married yet but these are what i see as potential issues:
-MIL is a housewife, DIL works--> conflict bc MIL feels DIL is neglecting the family and DIL feels deceived b/c MIL knew of her intention to work
-MIL compares DIL to other DILS--> MIL just wants DIL to do 'better', DIL feels her efforts are negated
-MIL does not watch DIL in the kitchen--> MIL feels DIL is moving in on her space and doing everything wrong anyway/DIL wants to make a meal in peace but MIL is in the way and making comments.
-Son and DIL want to go alone for dinner-->MIL feels hurt that she isn't invited/DIL feels annoyed that she doesn't get any time alone (even worse--son doesn't say anything).
-MIL wants DIL to change her religious practice, preferred language, or dress code and DIL resents it.
-DIL disciplines children to prevent them from getting spoiled--> MIL gets upset and immediately runs in to 'save' the child/DIL is upset because her words are just dismissed and the MIL-DIL issue just teaches kids to be manipulative
-MIL walks into son's room--> MIL just wants to feed her 'baby'/ DIL feels her privacy is invaded/Hubby enjoys the glass of dood and DIL is pissed! (i wud be too)
-MIL makes some snide comment and when DIL tells hubby, he blames it on her. DIL is upset that her opinion means nothing and MIL is upset that her son found out...she might get upset at DIL too.
i can imagine more...ughhh....but iA i will be living with my MIL and i can figure out the solutions to these potential probs beforehand..i hope they exist!
PERFECT...
