The relationship with a mother-in-law can be unpredictable, and no one can say for sure if you’ll get along. When I was 7 months pregnant, I found out my husband had an affair, and I ended up in the hospital. My mother-in-law came to visit and said, “I never liked you, but what my son did is disgusting. I’m sorry for him. We may not be friends, but you’re carrying my grandchild, and I’m here for you.” She supported me, and after I was discharged, she helped with my daughter.
However, things weren’t always smooth. She told my daughter I was an evil witch and gave money to my husband so they could leave me. We moved to a new city, and life has been better.
We bought land, but letting my in-laws plant their own beds next to mine caused issues. After years of ruining my garden, I gave it up. She also used to visit early on Saturdays, and eventually, I told my husband to handle it. Now, she arranges visits in advance.
Recently, she cut my son’s hair without my permission, which left me extremely upset.
