Here are my 37 Ways to Deal with Mother-in-law:

1. Be respectful to her

2. Be polite when talking to her

3. Be sensitive to her different needs

4. Be sensitive to her emotional changes (she may be going through menopause)

5. Be aware of her sense of loss of a daughter

6. Bring her out once in two weeks

7. Take her to her favourite restuarant

8. Remember her birthday

9. Send her gifts that she really like

10. Remember her wedding annivesary

11. Build rapport with father-in-law (backup just in case)

12. Be a good boy infront of both parents-in-laws

13. Remember your father-in-law’s birthday (though most of the times he doesn’t bother)

14. Remember your mother-in-laws’ important dates that matter to her

15. Find out her interest

16. If you have lots of free time, join a course with her (e.g. cooking class)

17. Treat her to dinner once in a while

18. Initiate family lunch

19. Be nice to your sister-in-law (as well as brother-in-law) so that you can hear more about her “secrets” and things to note

20. Turn up early for family dinner to help in kitchen

21. Volunteer to wash the dishes

22. Bring in extra food (meant to be surprises)

23. You got to know what she likes to eat

24. Sing praises about how hard she cooks in front of family members

25. Deshell the prawns and crabs before giving to her

26. Get food for her even though she said it is full

27. Still get gifts for her even though she said “it is a waste of money”

28. Don’t touch her possessions

29. Ask for permission if you want

30. Be genuine in your curiosity and encourage her to share with you about her history

31. Call her when she is unwell

32. Offer to take her to the doctor

33. Offer to run errands for her

34. Call back at meal times to check if she has eaten

35. Do ask her if she wants to visit any particular place during the weeekend

36. Offer to drive her around

37. Buy her mooncakes during Lantern Festival

38. Your method?

I think it has to be mutual. If they just expect us to bend over backwards for them while they do nothing, then none of that will happen. Which a lot of times is the case.

The only person I spend time pleasing is my SO. If that's not enough for her mother, or anyone else, tough ####.

I hope you never have kids!

Within a few years. And kids are a different story. No kids for now, so no need to worry about pleasing non-existent people. :)
