Any tips on how to get on with the mother in law.......I am trying so so hard to be nice but she just keep throwing it back in my face. She does not get on with any of her other daughther in her laws. But they all don't bother with her anymore cos of the way she is. I want to try and have some sort of relationship with her for my husband sake. But how???
 
Don't bother. She is one of those mothers who sees all of her daughters-in-law as being a threat. You have taken away her son and you simply aren't good enough for him (her thoughts not mine).

Take a tip from your Husband's sisters-in-law. Be polite to her, but don't go out of your way to be a friend - you'll just feel disappointed when you fail
 
Do what your sister-in-laws do. They know she's trouble and not worth their time.
 
No my mother in law is horrid too and from the moment I started to 'court' her son my life was hell. She did not like the fact that I had taken her 'baby' away from her and he was 30 years old! You will never be good enough in her eyes but your husband chose you because he loves you something that she will never get over because she sees you're a threat. I had very little to do with my mother in law and only paid her visits occasionally. Just smile, agree with everything she says and leave simple as that. Best to just get on with your life and ignore her stupid remarks, don't waste good energy on trying too hard to be liked. You won't change her ever! Good Luck and welcome to the club.
 
The best advice that I can offer is that you need to sacrifice your pride without sacrificing your self respect. Do not say bad things about her to your husband or others, do not say bad things towards her. Treat her with the utmost respect. If there is a quarrel or issue that is not of a life-or-death nature, defer to her will if it makes her happy.

Did you know that Harry S. Truman, the President of the United States, was never loved by his mother-in-law? She did not like that he came from a lower class, she too thought that he was taking away her baby. She did not approve of him fighting in WWI, she did not approve of him going into business or into politics. Mr. Truman lived with his mother-in-law for 15 years, starting the day he married, until he was elected to the United States Senate and moved to Washington, D.C.

Until the day she died, President Truman never said one unkind word with his mother-in-law, or even disagreed with her. How about THAT for true resolve? One of the most powerful people in the world, the man who dropped the bomb on Japan and felt great sadness over it, could not bring himself to even tell his mother in law to shut up!

If you are a Christian, the Bible tells us to pray for our enemies, and God will change their hearts. Pray for your mother-in-law. Don't pray that she likes you, don't pray that she changes her heart, but just pray for her. Keep her in your heart and your thoughts kindly and with love. God will change her.
 
they are a pain in the ass.
the best way is just to agree with everything she say's. then when she is gone get a pillow put your face in it and scream as loud as you can. poor you.
