New wife snaps at mother-in-law when she insults daughter-in-law's attempts to fit into the family traditions, husband must get involved: “You’ll never be accepted fully if you don’t make sacrifices”

We all want to impress our partner's parents. It doesn't matter how old we are, what culture we come from, what language we speak, it's a ubiquitous and universal feeling. I definitely had my fair share of bad experiences with my boyfriend's parents. When I was in my 20s I dated this guy who's mother just absolutely hated me. She would harp on my terrible fashion choices, my body, and even that I didn't treat her son well enough. You can guess that the relationship didn't last very long. At least now I'm happily married to a great man who comes from a great family. His mom even said that she wants all her children to find someone who looks at them the way I look at her eldest son.

When you do feel like you fit into your spouse's family, there's no better feeling. It's important that everyone feels like family, and there should be a level of comfortability. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

This poor woman. She really is trying her best, and it must be the worst feeling to feel like you just want to actively want something, but still not achieving it. The mother-in-law is at fault for being so harsh on her. It takes gentleness to teach someone something.
