All this mom wants is to enjoy her birthday. But the celebration quickly became complicated when her mother-in-law’s birthday started taking precedence.
Another possibility is that you’re too attractive. This may cause the parents to worry that they can’t trust you or that you’ll suddenly decide one day that your spouse isn’t the one for you anymore. And, of course, your in-laws may simply be jealous of you. If you’re receiving more attention than they are or your spouse has a particularly close relationship with their parents, Mom and Dad might not love the idea of sharing their baby.
Remember to have realistic expectations as well. You can’t demand that your 60-year-old mother-in-law completely change her personality, so you have to understand that you won’t get everything you want. But practicing self-care and setting boundaries might help you stay sane. Resist the temptation to take your in-laws’ behavior personally, and be gentle with yourself. Don’t blame yourself for conflicts that your mother-in-law instigated; just do your best to diffuse situations or remove yourself from them. And if nothing else seems to be working, you might simply need to get some space. Seeing your in-laws twice a year on holidays might be enough.
