I'm lucky, I got the best mother-in-law in the world, who would never interfere in our lives, but stands behind us and immediately jumps in if we need help. Not everyone in my environment is such a slob: many people complain that their mother-in-law is a real witch who makes their everyday life miserable.

The story below reveals that there are times when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along great - until the child is born. From then on, life turns into hell: it turns out that the fairy mother-in-law can turn into a dragon who knows everything better and has a say in everything.

We received the following letter from our reader, Judit:

“My husband and I felt like it would never be possible, even though we always dreamed of having a child. I always adored my sister's children, but my husband even more. We were young, rich and successful, we lived our lives doing whatever we felt like doing. That's why it hit us like a bolt from the blue when it turned out I was pregnant. It would take a long time to list how much our life has changed and how happy we have been, but what changed the most was our relationship with my husband's parents. I never believed until then that all mother-in-laws are… you know… "mother-in-laws".

Because from that moment on, he felt en titled to have a say in everything. I never understood on what basis a woman who has one child expects five children from her son, on what basis she expects us to entrust the child to her, when she had nothing to do with her own son. Sometimes I have a feeling that he won't accept that he can't be at home with our little boy when he goes to college.

I wonder why I have never heard anyone say that "my mother-in-law is an angel"? (My mother-in-law is an angel! - ed.) How can we live a happy family life if someone always knows everything better than us? Why can't grandmothers be happy about a grandchild? Why should we feel bad for being happy? Or because we only want one child? Help me… how do you deal with such problems?”
