How Dare You Waste My Son’s Money?!

When it comes to relationships between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there can be disagreements on so many opinions. Some manipulations are quite common, but at the same time, she can be narcissistic.She will be a centre of attention by showing off in front of all the family members by being friendly and loving but at some point you will realize that she has another face too – the judgmental, negative and manipulative behaviour.

I was shocked with one incident in my neighborhood when I thought the grass was greener on the other side. The aunty was so loving and kind to her daughter-in-law. But she was a tough woman to live with. When the daughter-in-law told me she disliked her, I got so disappointed. It seems there is always a clash of opinions between them.

A toxic mother in law

At first, I felt I, too, have these issues, but later on, I understood that there are toxic mother-in-laws.

These mothers-in-law will make you walk on egg shells, drain your energy, and always keep finding fault however you try to please them. They will criticize and judge you badly. From your appearance, your home making skills, your career choice, and even parenting skills.
