Managing relationships with in-laws can be challenging, and choosing your words carefully is crucial for maintaining a harmonious connection and as such there are some words you should not say to your mother-in-law. Here are five even things you should steer clear of saying to your mother-in-law to preserve a positive relationship
You are not my real mum
Even in moments of frustration, telling your mother-in-law that she’s not your biological mother can be hurtful
This is how we do things in our family
Rejecting your mother-in-law’s traditions or practices can come off as disrespectful. Instead, seek a compromise that respects both your family’s and her traditions.
I don’t like the way you raised your child
Critiquing your spouse’s upbringing can feel like a personal attack on your mother-in-law. If you have concerns about parenting, approach the discussion with empathy and focus on your family’s needs.
Why don’t you just stay out of our lives
While setting boundaries is important, telling her to stay away can damage the relationship. Express your need for space respectfully, acknowledging her role in your life.
You’re overstepping your bounds
Accusing your mother-in-law of overstepping can seem harsh. Instead, discuss your expectations and boundaries calmly, and be open to hearing her perspective.
