    Not all Chinese mother in law are bad, just some of them are bad. Before getting married, you can recognize them good or bad. Most of them treat daughter in law very well as blood daughter

      I know it is not all mother-in-laws! Depending on where in China you are also matters. In the village where we live, it is unfortunately very common for the relationships between mother-in-laws and daugther-in-laws to be quite bad. Especially the older generations. But of course not all! My MIL's MIL was terrible, and my MIL decided not to pass that down, and that's what I wanted to show with the video. I know a lot of people here who have wonderful relationships with their mother-in-laws as well. I hope I didn't make it sound like all Chinese MIL's were bad in the video! But the cultural difference too matters, since in rural China where my husband comes from, the daughter in law moves in with the husbands family. That is not as common in bigger cities as far as I know

      @@MiriamFollin It is too
      complex to explain it in English, so I wrote in Chinese. 婆媳关系这个事情主要是中国的两个传承了几千年的观念的问题。一个是“集体观念”一个是“男主外女主内”。因为集体观念--在乡村往往以姓氏、祠堂、宗族为一个单位产生一个大家庭--导致婆婆和儿子、儿媳相处时间远比西方文化中的MIL时间要长。一个是因为“女主内”从而婆婆一般是一个家庭内部事务的主要评判人。所以导致婆媳矛盾非常多,从而会婆媳紧张。有一点你说的特别好,就是But of course not all! My MIL's MIL was terrible, and my MIL decided not to pass that down, and that's what I wanted to show with the video.很多MIL自己年轻时儿媳的时候受了气,受了欺负,所以到年纪大了之后反过来把这个气传给了儿媳,导致恶性循环。主动跳出这个怪圈很重要。新中国才刚70年,还有很多需要改进需要不断的更新的地方。非常感谢你对中国的信任以及愿意嫁到中国来,而且是相对贫穷的西部!祝生活愉快!有什么想说的希望能更多的沟通!

    Asian mother in law (the good one) usually treat their daughter in law just like their own daughter. The bad ones are usually jealous because you "took her son."
    Asian parents are depending on their children (mostly son) to take care of them when they're old or when they're sick.
    So yes you're married not only the person but also the family.

You know how that will end as he can only satisfy one of them.

    You know you're blessed when your Chinese parents/parents-in-law are determined to break the vicious cycle. So much wisdom and respect in there.

    Nice to see that you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law and that you are willing to learn from her cooking skills. Always handy to have some recipes from her and you know sons always like their mother's cooking 😀.

    My mother in law too treated me so good as she didn't want me to experience the cruelty she endured from her mother in law. She was even much much more loving towards me than my own mother. I loved her & love her till now

    This made me cry. I am so happy for your family and especially you and your mother-in-law. You have the kind of relationship we all hope to and should have; considerate, understanding, kind, respectful and loving. Bravo to your mother-in-law for having the fortitude to endure the previous regime and being of good character to decidedly break the cycle. My story was different. Ex potential Mother-in-law and I are both born and raised in the US as are our parents and grandparents, but we are ethnically different. That was just the beginning. So, although there are long known horror stories about the Chinese mother-in-law, there are also many sad stories about mother-in-laws in general. No matter the ethnicity, country, religion or education level, there can be bad apples on both sides of the divide. Luckily you and she are each blessed with a gem. Best wishes to you all.

    Miriam that’s absolutely amazing! I think for many south Asians too (as my parents originated from Bangladesh 🇧🇩) we’ve always seen n have been taught to respect our elders no matter how wrong they may seem at the time. Girls in our family have always been conditioned to marry not only their chosen man but his family too. One of the key people to befriend is your mother Inlaw as she is another important woman in a husband’s life. She needs to learn to trust and believe that her baby son will be taken care of n is happy. For me it took a good few years but now me n my Mil have such a great relationship that she trusts me more than her own son n we share a lot of personal things. My mil is my mother now n I feel blessed that she loves me sooooooo much . ☺️ Wish you all the best hun n keep it real. xx

    That is so nice! My grandma is the same.. she was not treated well by her mother in law, but she treats my mom better than her own daughters. And same thing, my grandpa treat his son in law better than my dad... whenever the kids visited my grandparents, they made sure that they appreciate all the positive things their daughter and son in laws have done. If they had any suggestions for the couple, they would always say in front of both of them, or their own daughters and son... they also only spoke positively about their kids in law when they in public :)

    I have wondered about your getting along with your mother-in-law. I am touched that she had truly turned out to be the one in a million great mother-in-law. I'm truly happy for both of you and your family. May God continue with his blessing for you all.
