Do not compete with her



You need to accept the fact that mothers are bound to be possessive over their son. Therefore, do not point out that you are better than her in taking care of your husband. Instead give her compliments about her cooking skills and even try to learn new recipes from her. Strict warning for new Indian brides - never compete with your mother-in-law, she will tear you down!

Treat your spouse properly in front of them



One way to win your mother-in-law's heart is to treat their child well in front of them. Whatever it is, do not complain about their child to them or mention anything which raises question on his upbringing. No mother would like to hear negative comments about her' child's upbringing. She will definitely start to despise you!

Respect



Always speak to your mother-in-law with respect. It is common to have differences in certain topics due to the generation gap but instead of you arguing with her, try to develop a good communication. Remember that she is your elderly and the mother of the man you have chosen as a partner.

Spend Time with Her

 

Invite your mother-in-law for lunch or a day at the spa. It is a good way to begin cultivating a one-on-one relationship and this will make her know that you acknowledge her presence in your life.

Take her opinion



Even if you think everything is under control, ask for her help sometimes. If you are planning to change the furniture, ask your mother-in-law’s advice or if she is great in arranging flowers, ask her help. Trust us, ensuring she feels needed and appreciated in your new family will make her feel less nervous or sad about the changing shape of hers.

Don’t be lazy



Always be on the move when it comes to housekeeping. Make sure the house is neat, clean and always help out around the house. This is an important trait Indian mother-in-laws want to see in their daughter-in-laws.
