It is well known that the mother of the groom and the bride don’t get along that great. Like it or not this is the true fact. Few are the cases in which the bride and her mother in law get along.
Why do these conflicts appear?
First of all, we know just how pretentious the mother of the groom is. She is going to comment always that she doesn’t like this or that, or simply she will admit the fact that no girl is capable of making her son happy. Some of these ideas are, of course, in her head, but as the bride you have to try to understand why, is the mother of the groom behaving in this way.
CreditHow do you deal with this type of behavior?
It may sound like a huge headache, but you have to do in such a manner as to discuss with her and make her understand that you two have to get along and that you will be a part of the same family in a short time.
The roles of the mother of the groom in the wedding
Some of the discussions can start in the moment in which you start with the wedding planning procedures. Now, don’t omit your mother in law totally from the wedding, just do in such a manner as to make her understand that you divided the entire wedding into parts and each person has his/her role.
The mother of the groom has an important word in the wedding as well, so you should listen to her pieces of advice. She is older than you and she has loads of experience in her back.
Where exactly does the future mother in law get involved with money? At the level of the honeymoon, the mayor’s fees, the rehearsal dinner, the wedding reception and the transportation for the wedding day! These are the essential parts of the wedding in which she gets involved.
Remember, in the case of a conflict or misunderstanding the only solution is to talk and keep things straight – avoid unpleasant feelings, because you will deal with each other all the rest of your life.
