The Behaviors of a "monster-in-law" versus a "mother-in-law" in five key areas:
Expectations:
A monster-in-law expects control and prioritizes their own opinions, preferences, and presence, even in the couple's home. In contrast, a mother-in-law respects boundaries and acknowledges the couple's marriage as a new household.
Advice:
A monster-in-law criticizes under the guise of advice, finding fault with every decision. A mother-in-law offers wisdom with kindness, and only when asked.
Relationships:
A monster-in-law creates division, making one spouse feel torn between their partner and their mother, using guilt as a tool. A mother-in-law supports the couple as a team, promoting unity and understanding.
Emotions:
A monster-in-law feels replaced and competes emotionally, seeking to remain the center of attention in their child's life. A mother-in-law embraces their changed role gracefully and loves without competing.
Support:
A monster-in-law spreads doubt through backbiting, comparisons, and negativity. A mother-in-law prays for the couple's peace, connection, and growth.
