Just about everyone has heard a terrible joke or a horror story about someone elseâs mother-in-law. Blending two families together often creates new and uncomfortable dynamics that will take some time to get used to, and sometimes mothers-in-law behave badly during these transitions. But these donât need to be wildly uncomfortable transitions, and you donât need to become the butt of everyoneâs jokes.
With Whatâs a Mother (In Law) to Do?, author Jane Angelich (a mother-in-law herself) teaches readers how to become the mother-in-law theyâve always wished they had. Rich with sidebars, practical suggestions, and stories of love and encouragement, this is the perfect book for anyone facing this new role or for those seasoned mother-in-laws who are simply seeking tips for improvement. Welcoming your childâs spouse into your life doesnât have to be difficult, as long as youâre excited about building and nurturing respectful family relationships.
