1.0 out of 5 stars It's all the daughter-in-law's fault!, December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: What Every Mother-In-Law Wishes Her Daughter-In-Law Knew but Was Afraid to Tell Her (Paperback)

I was really hoping that I'd be able to get some true insights from this book. I love my husband dearly, and I wanted to have a good happy relationship with his mother. But we've always been distant, and I haven't known how to get through it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any help from this book! Its focus is on presenting a set of stories in which the daughters-in-law are completely nasty, and it doesn't provide any information at all on how to work through a slightly strained relationship where nothing 'bad' has actually happened. As well, the strong religious focus turned me off. This book was most definitely a disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars This author doesn't get it..., May 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: What Every Mother-In-Law Wishes Her Daughter-In-Law Knew but Was Afraid to Tell Her (Paperback)

It is clear that this author is extremely one-sided and does not get the complexities of the issues at hand. ALL relationships are two-sided and these relationships only present one side of the coin.
If the author really believes what she has written then it will be obvious to all readers why she does not get along with her daughter-in-law. She is an EXPERT in how not to get along!

1.0 out of 5 stars Only get this if you're a mother in law, July 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: What Every Mother-In-Law Wishes Her Daughter-In-Law Knew but Was Afraid to Tell Her (Paperback)

I got this book to help with my strained relationship with my mother in law and all the book did was tell stories about how terrible daughter in laws are and how the daugher in laws should basically worship the ground the mother in law walks.

After each story about the wicked daughter in law in had questions to ponder and no answers. I was hoping for some tips on how to better deal with my mother in law. The only tip I got was not to recommed this book to any of my friends who have strained relations with her in laws.

The author who wrote it has a very antiquated look on the relationship between mother and daughter in law and didn't tackle any of the issues - juggling work, family and in laws that I think we can all use some help on. Pass on this book
