My best friend has one married son, and she treats her daughter-in-law like she's part of the family, and she also minds her own business. She's a very smart woman, and I admire her. Another friend, who is in every other way a lovely, kind person, refers to her daughter-in-law as "The Beached Whale." A third friend says her son's wife is a decent mother but she buys the kids pop in cans instead of the two-liter bottles, which is much cheaper, and my friend doesn't understand how her daughter-in-law can be so careless with money. It amazes me how petty and mean-spirited women can be when they are talking about their sons' wives.

I do not have a daughter-in-law, so I cannot speak from experience. However, if I did have one, I would make every effort to love her and accept her with open arms, even if I didn't like her. She would be the future mother of my grandchildren, after all.

Is this easier said than done? How do you treat your daughter-in-law?
 
Hi Jennifer,

I do not have a daughter in-law yet but I suspect that I would treat her with love and respect, after all she's the one who my son chose to be his wife. I guess it would have to depend on how you been raised and what values you hold dear to your heart.

Some people are just not as evolved as others.

In my opinion, daughters in-law are family too.
