My MIL is not my mother…she may be the kindest woman on earth and she may love her son to bits…but she’s not my mother, never will be. You should treat your MIL with the amount of respect you give your own mother - but if my mom meddled in my mariage or my personal decisions (once i’m married and not accountable to her, these decisions have no effect on her) - then yeah, i’d follow my own advice: simple explanation, ignore the comments made, end of story. It applies to anyone. I never said outright ignore ur MIL while she’s talking to u lol but yeah…she doesn’t have an obligation or duty to sit down and explain to anyone the spiritual/mental journey to wearing an abaya now and why she didn’t before. Reha’s advice is the best, IMO.

When it comes to household responsibilities…u can’t label waking up at a certain time as a personal decision, for me that’s common sense…u live in anyone’s house…pitch in and follow the general trend/rules of the house. This applies to in-laws as well.

But anyway, this is all irrelevant from reading OPs reaction.

I questioned ur comment because it didn’t fit OP’s situation. The “comment from the MIL,” aren’t really getting into her personal life with her husband. I don’t see how they can be effecting their marriage. When you move into your inlaws house, you should try to follow the general trend…so if everyone is waking up at 6am and you don’t get up 10am that will be considered odd. Even your mother would say something about that if you did that at home.
