Getting married means blending families \u2013 and one big member of that new family is the mother-in-law (MIL). As she watches her \u201cbaby\u201d take the next step in Life, emotions and relationships can get complicated. Birkat Elyon<\/a> is in the business of providing couples with beautiful, affordable CZ engagement and wedding rings<\/a>; we\u2019ve been around hundreds of couples and heard it all. So here are some tips for the bride that will help set up a great relationship with Mom (in law).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019M NOT PUSHING YOU OUT OF OUR LIFE<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the wife, you\u2019ll be spending the most time now with her child. While boundaries are important, it\u2019s also important that she knows that she\u2019s still part of that new life. Just telling her that at the outset will provide a big sense of relief and make setting any future \u201cground rules\u201d a lot easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that same note, assure her that she\u2019ll always be \u201cmom.\u201d\nThere are some things only a mom can do, so just knowing that she\u2019ll still\ncommand that respect will give her a sense of comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“YOU CAN BE IN CHARGE OF CERTAIN HOLIDAYS<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing major holidays is always an issue for new couples\nand their families. If your mother-in-law really, REALLY loves hosting\nChristmas Eve dinner, let her know that she can still be in charge of that.\nThat concession will smooth the way for any other kind of \u201cswaps\u201d and give you\nand your spouse some leverage with other occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“KIDS ARE UP TO US<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the best-intentioned MIL may start to get a little \u201cbaby fever\u201d once the ring<\/a> has found its way onto your finger. Set this boundary early on; let her know that the discussion of having children (or not) will come up when you and your spouse are ready. Assure her that she\u2019ll be kept in the loop \u2013 but on your <\/em>schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“WHAT\u2019S SOMETHING I NEED TO KNOW?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great way to jumpstart a conversation with your\nMIL. As well as you know your significant other, Mom has some insights from\nyears of observation. These could be serious \u2013 or hilarious. With the latter,\nyou\u2019ll have some funny stories to laugh together over (and of course, to gently\ntease your partner with).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
