Introduction
Every day millions of couples go from dating to engagement to marriage. What is supposed to be wedded bliss, a wonderful time for the lovers, ends up being a nightmare for the mother of the groom. From the moment the bride-elect is introduced to her future mother-in-law, Mom assesses everything about her from the mints she pops in her mouth, the size shoe she wears, the outdated or whorish
clothing she chooses, to any other little thing Mom dislikes and that causes her to break out in hives.
A new bride thinks she has a mother-in-law who is sweet and loving and makes her feel like a true daughter, only to find out Mom has been saying things behind her back to her husband. This can be devastating for daughters-in-law who have missed the clues to Mama’s deceptive, manipulative, controlling, seductive, entrapping and/or betraying ways. Good old Mom is not going to let her son out of her sight or allow another woman (who happens to be his wife) control him. A mother-in-law that uses one of the Six Signs lays down the law early on, which many daughters-in-law tend to ignore.
There are some mothers-in-law you just can't give your power over to, or be nice to, without being taken advantage of. A mother-in-law who operates as a Six is dangerous from day one. Mom can easily deceive the smartest and brightest daughter-in-law if the new wife does not have a healthy relationship with her own mother.
My son will always choose his mother over his wife.
If I can't make him stop, what makes you think you can, when I am his mother?
My son is out of control sometimes, and it will take me, as his mother, to calm him down.
I need for us to get along so that my son stays in my life; I can't have my son not talk to me.
These are just some of the crazy and selfish things you may hear her say. Controlling your happiness and your husband is her ultimate desire. My intentions are to teach you how to manage the relationship with your mother-in-law so she does not destroy your marriage.
CHAPTER ONE
DECEPTION
There is nothing like having the perfect mother-in-law, especially when your own mother is not nice to you. Your job as a wife and a woman is to bond with your husband, not your mother-in-law, but many mothers-in-law don’t understand this. My mother sat me down a long time ago when I was a teen and laid out the ground rules on what I should and should not expect from a mother-in-law; I never forgot them. Below is a list of what she said to me.
• Don’t call her too much in the beginning of your relationship.
• The more control you give her, the more she will rule your happiness and take over your relationship.
• If she doesn’t call you, don’t call her. This teaches her that you are your own woman.
• Never take the backseat if your future mother-in-law gets in your car with you. Put her comfortably in the back.
• If you are not careful, she can have your husband mad at you and fighting with you when he gets home.
• Don’t tell your mother-in-law everything that goes on in your relationship and family.
Those are just a few of the rules my mother taught me over the years, and even more so when I got engaged. Having five brothers made me listen to every word she said because she was crazy about her sons. This list could go on and on, but I want you to know the most important things
