The truth about mothers-in-law Although i’s men who tel jokes about them, mothers-in-law are usually less popular with their daughters-in-law than with their sons-in-law. A recent study of 449 married couples found that ‘two thirds of wives interviewed said that their mothers-in-law caused them “unhappiness and. stress,” compared with 1 percent ofthe husbands. ‘There are a number of reasons for this. First of allthere is the question of experience. A mother-in-law has already raised a family of her own, so she feels that she has a lot of knowledge to pass on. In ths situation, is very dificult for her to keep quiet. However, when a daughter-in-lawis @ new mother, she usually wants to find her own way of doing things. She often interprets her mother-in-law’s advice as criticism, which can cause a conflict. Secondly, there is the case of the husband. Both women care for him, although each of them loves him in a different ‘way. On the one hand, he isthe mother-in-law’s son, and she obviously wants the best for him. On the other hand, he is. the wifes partner, and she wants him to support her. Both ‘women can get very upset if they see the man taking sides, and this can cause an argument, However, mothers-in-law actualy have a lot to offer, despite their reputation for causing trouble. They are generally excellent babysitters, and they don’t mind helping with the housework. As long as they have their awn independent lives and help out only when needed, mothers-in-law can play avery useful role in any family. The important thing is that they should not get too involved in their sons’ and. daughters’ relationships so that nobody feels bad. b Read the article again and choose the best answer: 1 What dd the study find out about mothers-in-law? 4 More men than women have problems with them. ’b- More men than women tell jokes about them. {© More women than men have problems with them. 2 Whatadvice do mothers-in-law try to give their daughters-in-law? a How to take care oftheir husband. b How to bring up children € How todo housework. 3. According to the article, which situation makes ddaughters-in-law angry? a When their husband ageces with his mother. b When theie husband talks to his mother € When their husband argues with his mother. 4 Which women make the best mothers-in-aw? a Those who are really close to their son. b Those who don't have a life oftheir own.
