Now this is that very important relationship which has made the Saas - Bahu serials go for a  box-office hit. This might appear to be very common but this bitter relationship status is the reason why many girls have lost their lives after getting married. So this relationship should be understood with greatest care so that people can grow up and not repeat the same mistake .

Psychology of a mother-in-law

The mother -in-law have been controlling the household for all this while and then suddenly a new girl comes and takes her place is not very welcome. This is very normal. The mother-in-law thinks like a headmistress of a school, that the new candidate has to learn and pass the examination to get into her shoes.  This is also like college ragging, when seniors rag the juniors. This thing has got a good and a bad side. Too much of ragging can take you to jail. but a little ragging can prepare the daughter-in-law to face the world.  This is where most of the mother-in-laws loose their control. They do a hell lot of ragging and they want everything will be as per their will. That's were they make the mistake.  They forget to understand the feelings of their daughter-in-laws. They completely overrule everyone in the family. Now this is the reason why the relationship is so bitter. 

Another point is even if the daughter-in-law pass the test and they perform well in managing the family, their compliments from the family members makes the mother-in-law jealous and she looses her self respect and her power and position in the family. That is another reason why their is so much trouble in this relationship. 

Both ways , the mother-in-law is never happy. Even if she wants to love her daughter-in-law, she cannot because of her power  loss in the family. So this is actually a very pitiable state. People make serials out of this relationships and many makes fun also. But the psychology has to be understood by everyone in order to meet the problem. 

Psychology of a daughter-in-law

The daughter-in-law tries to give her best in most cases because she is new to her family but the family power game cannot make her succeed. She has to carry on every responsibilities without even a single praise. or else that would annoy the mother-in-law.

Exceptions

But there are exceptions also, not all mother-in-laws think the same way. They have more educated mind and they are considerate also. I say this because their are still many joint families existing till date. 

Again not all daughter-in-laws are so good. They are not ready to perform their duties as a daughter-in-law from Day 1 of their marriage.

So we cannot generalize this topic as all mother-in-laws are bad and all daughter-in-laws are good… Definitely not…!!

The psychology of the position has to be understood and no one should be blamed for this kind of relationships because their position makes them do the wrong things, they themselves might be very good as a person…!!
