Better that mother and daughter-in-law live apart

It may start as a feud between the two, but before you know it, the husband, kids, father-in-law and other relatives are also drawn into the conflict.

It is not always the mother-in-law's fault when in-law relationships are rocky. As women, these people are similar in their emotional makeup. Both need to learn to relate properly. The mother-in-law should know that when her son's wife joins the family, she becomes a full member of the family and should be treated like the other members of the family.
