Mother-in-law vs daughter-in-law by flamboyant psycholoist Adejoro Olumofin

Letter to the Ladies Vol. 11. This article was written by Flamboyant Psychologist Adejoro Olumofin.

(Learn Assertive Training and Diplomatic means with your Mother-in-law)


What is Assertive Training?

This is a Psychological process in which you learn how to express your views without being rude or suggestive to second or third party. This being said, the Mother-in-law/Daughter-in-law "beef" or dispute is a Universal Phenomenon which has caused a lot of problems and ended a lot of happy marriages and relationships. Some of these disputes have led to verbal abuse, shouting matches, fights over territory in the kitchen, disagreement over naming of children and even Physical confrontations between Mothers and Daughters-in-law. 

For you to understand any situation you have to go to its origin, ladies take note, before you came into the equation, the apple of your bae's eye and his number one protector was his mother who he showered with love and affection and then you came into the picture and suddenly all the attention shifted from his mother to you. This change is a process, naturally there will be some tension because it takes some time for mothers in-law to get used to the fact that their sons are no longer 100% theirs and they have to share him, or permission has to be sort on certain things in his life which they usually did directly or without question. 


Ladies, you need to learn to be diplomatic with your mothers in-law because you have more to lose than them. Pick your battles, most times, your boyfriend or husband will take his mom's side if any dispute arises. Let me also say that no amount of Diplomacy or Assertive Training will help you if your man is a "Mommy's Boy" and can't handle his mom or if his mom doesn't like you. Therefore, if you're in this situation where your man can not defend you or hold your hand, you need to develop a thick skin, have patience and most importantly PRAY. Studies have shown that the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship is one of the most difficult in social psychology and there isn't any clear cut solution or approach towards this, because the variables always differ i.e different mothers/daughters-in-law have different cultural backgrounds, personalities and family structures. Dear Ladies, may you not fall into a bad mother-in-law situation. However, learn to adapt to your environment and also learn how to manage such delicate relationship in a diplomatic way. Dear mothers in-law, with due respect, I appeal to you to use your wealth of experience to deal with your daughters in-law in tactful ways, for the benefit of your son towards maintaining a happy married life..

      Spotted another well dressed guy that likes to pose and take selfies like ladies do. True definition of someone in touch with he's feminine side, in other words he got Gay mannerism. I'm sure he's married to a man in d usa

      Fortunately, joro, as much as I love the topic of this article, unfortunately, you have missed out a lot of key points in regards to this MIL and dIL relationship.

      What about MiL's that are using jazz on their sons to be able to control who he dates/marries?

      Trust me...some women are pure gold to a man. Unfortunately, due to the jazzy MIL who sniffs that her wicked ways will be revealed through the gold wife...begins to look for every way to get rid of her

      How do you tell your man that his mum is a witch and out to destroy his life without him trying to get rid of you as the gold wife? In turn, she has caused a beautiful and successful marriage or relationship to go down the drain...and yes, some mothers are out to destroy their sons as they have used them as covenants in their devilish world. Some, it's just to flex the power and hold they have over their sons.

      It's either one of two things...either the guy loves you enough to fight for you if he's spiritually strong enough or he let's go because his mother has reigned enough curses on him forbidding the relationship, to last several generations to come.

      As the golden babe, you decide to stay God fearing and be praying along with the patience. Remember, the golden girl could turn into a witch too just to fight the MIL.

      Going the prayer route...you dream, you have visions, you're told left right and centre that this is your husband but his mum doesn't want to make life easy for you and the only time you'd enjoy each other is if she's dead. Tell me why you wouldn't be praying for her death every second of the day?

      Yes, the aspect is there that that means the female siblings don't get to have their mother at their weddings etc. but what will it profit every one to have an evil MIL alive?

      What about the MIL's you appeal to with gifts, patience, kindness and love and still chose to have a heart of stone?

      When the son eventually becomes a wreck due to his mothers actions, poor and lonely, what say you then, joro?

      Some would ask...shouldn't the guy know by now that his mother is the one "doing him?" Maybe not...depends on the intensity of the jazz which is probably being topped up regularly

      You also have the aspect of girls who use jazz to tie a guy down for whatever reason. In this instance, a mothers instinct or research will automatically turn on operation "chase out" by the MIL.

      Some mothers...the only reason why they are nasty is because the daughter was out of order ONCE and find it very hard to forgive but yet, claim to be a Christian around town rather than to correct in love.

      Some MIL's are not interested in their own marriages because they've turned their husbands into a mugu. So anything she says goes.

      There are many more aspects joro. This volume will need several sub articles to help the real ladies out there. A lot of men end up marrying a woman who has pretended to be quiet till she gets into the home. Not all can be like that.

    Very true but women are thier worst enemies..when the son marries some mothers in law want to rule and control but if its thier daughter, they tell her how to control her MIL..if you marry a mama's boy, na one chance you enter...no woman wants to be bossed in her territory...when your son marries, respect the fact that its not your control to tell them hiwxto sleep or eat biko..

      Thank you Chi. A mother in law wants to rule in her son's home but teaches her daughter to rule in her own home. It is a very frustrating dynamic. I teaching my daughters not to marry a man who cannot respectfully stand up to his mother. Your husband should support you in the public eye. You can disagree behind closed doors.

    Daughters in-law should possess all d patience in d world if they are to live amicably with their mothers in -law. Its vry possible for peaceful coexistence between the pair. If u want d best from your hubby, then tolerate d mother. If u don't pray for her to be alive when u married her son, then u won't be alive to witness ur own son's wedding. Its as simple as that.

    I was initially happy about this initiative but after reading through, I got disappointed.
    Why must it be a competition between the mother in law and daughter in law. The mothers should learn to love and let go!
    What does Genesis 2:24 say!? Ehn! It was very clear! Not sure what the Quran says, so my Muslim brothers and sisters can help me here. We as Nigerians can be so hypocritical :(
    Almost every mother in law thinks the daughter in law "has come to take my son away"!

      My own MIL is a devil incarnate...the woman will smile n laugh with me but will be inciting my hubby against me...imagine her telling hubby not to be telling me everything that he does...meanwhile she was angry with her niece's husband because he was keeping things away from her...i was like ooo, so i fit pain u....
      Anyways, im done with pretending, we both know we dont like each other, we are only accomodating each other cus of the common factor we share : my hubby.
      No family member likes her....d ones that accomodates her do so cus of d money dey want to collect from her...all d wives in the house avoids her like a plague...
      Huuby has told me to stay on my lane and her stay on her own...i have told them..dis is my home, hubby n i make decision in this home, she cant rule and control my home. I wonder sef if she knew better than me, she will still be married now....no man wants her under the same roof....God knows the intent of my heart towards her but if she continues planning evil for me...she will reap her evil in Jesus name

    Linda, some mother in laws r so cruel that all u think about when u see them is murder. D best solution that has worked so far is living far apart from them and showing them all the neccessary love from afar. And ladies, pls forget love, if υ̲̣̥r̲̅ fiance is a mommy's boy, run for υ̲̣̥r̲̅ ϑε̲ãr life. Simple.

      Living far apart? Does that always work? We live as far apart as you can get, well transatlantic still she perpetuates via views over the phone. All her in-laws don run from her side. Impossible to please. The deal is, I'm okay to loose it really doesn't matter to me. I chose sides and I took life over them matter, make them dey there.

    sorry I dont agree, men no longer automatically jump to the mother's side in times of conflicts, haba, some of us actually do love our girlfriends, some of these girls are actually proper good girls and cos a woman is our mother dont immediately make her a perfect person or a god, me I dont know how to do eye service, I respect and love my mum but when she is wrong, I tell her she is wrong, dont matter who she is fighting.

    Tell this flabby fool that he is a lair. How can a married woman with a husband expect 100 percent attention from her soon to her? This Y our society is messed up. This is Y men will continue to suffer inferiority complex forever. To flabby psychologist, tell your mother that you have now grown into the man she wants you to be, thank her and beg her to now pay full attention to your father and her marriage. Her marriage did not end because you were born. But if you want to give 100 percent of your attention to ur mama, please don't lisend to the bible; don't marry because you won't be able to cling to or become one with your wife. FYI... it is a man's responsibility to sit his mama down and tell her he wants to marry and when he does, his attention to mama will decrease or diminish. Stop putting all marriage responsibilities on women. Gosh, what all yall good for besides penis.

    Joro Joro Joro. Which kind abe igi psychologist you be? hahaha. I think is it very disgraceful that a psychologist used the word 'PRAY'! It is comparable to a GP telling you to use traditional medicine to treat an ailment (unless you refer to countries like ours that believe in diabolical powers)as doctors strongly believe in the power of science and the fact that they have the answer to everything. He keeps writing the obvious shy of any new perspective or thought-provoking opinion. Dokita Mofin, take several seats and think deep.

    Fortunately, joro, as much as I love the topic of this article, unfortunately, you have missed out a lot of key points in regards to this MIL and dIL relationship.

    What about MiL's that are using jazz on their sons to be able to control who he dates/marries?

    Trust me...some women are pure gold to a man. Unfortunately, due to the jazzy MIL who sniffs that her wicked ways will be revealed through the gold wife...begins to look for every way to get rid of her

    How do you tell your man that his mum is a witch and out to destroy his life without him trying to get rid of you as the gold wife? In turn, she has caused a beautiful and successful marriage or relationship to go down the drain...and yes, some mothers are out to destroy their sons as they have used them as covenants in their devilish world. Some, it's just to flex the power and hold they have over their sons.

    It's either one of two things...either the guy loves you enough to fight for you if he's spiritually strong enough or he let's go because his mother has reigned enough curses on him forbidding the relationship, to last several generations to come.

    As the golden babe, you decide to stay God fearing and be praying along with the patience. Remember, the golden girl could turn into a witch too just to fight the MIL.

    Going the prayer route...you dream, you have visions, you're told left right and centre that this is your husband but his mum doesn't want to make life easy for you and the only time you'd enjoy each other is if she's dead. Tell me why you wouldn't be praying for her death every second of the day?

    Yes, the aspect is there that that means the female siblings don't get to have their mother at their weddings etc. but what will it profit every one to have an evil MIL alive?

    What about the MIL's you appeal to with gifts, patience, kindness and love and still chose to have a heart of stone?

    When the son eventually becomes a wreck due to his mothers actions, poor and lonely, what say you then, joro?

    Some would ask...shouldn't the guy know by now that his mother is the one "doing him?" Maybe not...depends on the intensity of the jazz which is probably being topped up regularly

    You also have the aspect of girls who use jazz to tie a guy down for whatever reason. In this instance, a mothers instinct or research will automatically turn on operation "chase out" by the MIL.

    Some mothers...the only reason why they are nasty is because the daughter was out of order ONCE and find it very hard to forgive but yet, claim to be a Christian around town rather than to correct in love.

    Some MIL's are not interested in their own marriages because they've turned their husbands into a mugu. So anything she says goes.

    There are many more aspects joro. This volume will need several sub articles to help the real ladies out there. A lot of men end up marrying a woman who has pretended to be quiet till she gets into the home. Not all can be like that.

    Hmmm,honestly after going through the comments here I can't help but agree in totality with the Igbo adage which says dat"ihe di be oke di be ogini" which I can interpret to mean that we have similar cases of MIL/DIL wahala almost evrwhr, I could go on and on,but will rest my case for now.
