Mother-In-Laws

Mother-in-laws are notorious on TV shows and movies for despising the "whore" that takes away her pride and joy, her son. They never think the woman their son chooses is good enough for him. In my opinion, they would trust their son's judgement if they didn't have issues about whether or not they raised their son correctly. My mother-in-law always seems to want to critique the way I raise my son. Every time we go to her house for a visit, she tries to instill different values in him. Being nothing alike, my mother-in-law and I do not see eye to eye. There is almost no trust in our relationship and not much of a relationship at all. In movies with happy endings, the mother-in-law finally accepts her new daughter-in-law into her life and admits that she never thought that her son made the right choices about women but somehow this girl was different. Even in TV shows, it's usually the male figure that has issues with his mother-in-law because she's crazy and annoying. In my life, my mother-in-law and I try to get along for the sake of my boyfriend, who absolutely adores my mother since he can talk to her without judgement, something he can't do with his mom. With us, it seems, our lives are so far from those portrayed in the entertainment business, that we almost try to force ourselves to be like them, which ends in complete and utter disasters. Truth is, I love my mom and don't think that I need another one in my life. To me, my mother-in-law is and always will be an obstacle in my relationship. I think my boyfriend considers my mom as a newfound mother figure, which irritates me. The mother-in-law issue can go either way. There is no inbetween when it comes to this relationship. It's either we hate each other or we consider our mother-in-laws our new best friend. I, however, simply tolerate and ignore. My advice to every other teen mom out there is to try to get along, only because it definitely benefits relationships to last longer. If you can't get along, then tolerate and ignore. Either way, if your guy loves you, he'll stay.
