While speaking to Briefly News relationship expert and Founder of Engaged Humans, Paula Quinsee said:

"Relationships with mothers-in-law can be an endearing one or a nightmare. What helps to build a positive relationship between a woman and her mother-in-law is one of mutual respect, boundaries, and empathy, accepting that both relationships are equally important but very different in nature."

Contributing factors include:

• Both acknowledge each other’s roles, having mutual respect and that there is no competition.

• Being clear with boundaries to prevent any interference in a couple’s relationship.

• Making mother-in-law feel welcome in family activities that builds the relationship and goodwill between mother and daughter-in-law.

• Being able to have open and honest conversations which can go a long way in preventing misunderstandings.
