(User Info | Send a Message) | Well, I take it your mother was foreign raised and traditional. You better realize that in some traditional families, the mom is supposed to make life hard on the DIL. Not saying right or wrong, just that your Mom might actually like her DIL but she won't be showing it in any way the DIL or you will know. She is "training" her DIL as her MIL did to her and many generations past.
Don't all mothers want what is best for their son? Well in traditional Asian families, they also want what is best for the parents too because the DIL plays a much greater role in their lives. In traditional Korean families, the DIL is the parents primary caretaker for instance.
Doubtful your wife knew this getting into the marriage. Moms of any race don't tend to change much, best to research it and understand her POV and adapt.
Try www.iskakorea.com. It's a site for XF/KM couples living in Korea but many of the forums threads I found discussed MIL-wife relationships. Then there is a Yahoo group for AM/XF with more MIL discussions. Fun stuff!
As for AF outdating, dude go read this website and the forum threads. Plenty of material. :) |
