    Patience is a virtue, I always say. If you live with them I feel for you. Just a few things to remember, 1)if you love him then you will learn to appreciate and deal with the family that you married into. 2)Although, everyone disagrees sometimes try to bond with your inlaws and things will go better than being upset. 3)Get to know your mother-in-law as mother than just a mom but a friend or gal-pal. 4)Do something as a family together. Go out and do something that you all will enjoy.

    I am as polite as possible,keep everything clean as I can,help with chores that I can,and go out as much as possible.

    I have been living with them for about 3-4 months now and things are a lot better than I thought they would be.Financially we are getting back on our feet and hopefully we can buy our own house soon.It wouldn't be possible if they weren't here to help us.

    Just try to make the best with what u got.

    Take Mamma's boy and head 4 the hills. Get as far away as possible, as soon as possible. They'll tell their son you're not good enough; they'll make you selfconscious about having sex; they'll start downgrading you to their son... next thing you know, the son changes his behavior, and you're the enemy. Make him choose: you or Mamma. My fiancee started pulling the old 'why don't you do things like her' routine... I told him if he likes living with her so much, just say so and we'll break up. No big deal. We've been married 29 years now. I didn't make a huge deal out of it. If your guy really wants to be mamma's little boy -- let him. Just say 'look, you want "mamma" no sweat... but you'll go through life without a girl...no sex... lonely... depressed... and under mom's thumb. Doesn't sound like much of a life to me."

    The 'no sex' part of that conversation should do it. And like I said, once you're married, get as far away from them as possible. THEN your husband will act like an adult.

    adjust with them as they adjust with you. Understand their sense of belonging with love and compassion. They want to live with you if you will adjust them .
