Respect this request by establishing ahead of time what she can contribute monthly to the household budget. Look for the good things about her, not just the bad. If she's always cleaning despite you telling her not to, thank her for her care and contribution. Find the positive ways she adds to your life, your partner's life, and even your kids' lives. If possible, do this in her presence and be genuine. If she buys you and your family things, say, "Thank you, that was thoughtful of you." If you're in conflict with your mother-in-law and it's not resolving over time or on its own, it's time to talk about it. If she tends to criticize your marriage or your parenting, let her know how this makes you feel. Be kind and honest and tell her what you'd like instead. Aim to find resolutions to your problems. Do your best not to accuse her or blame her. Instead, share how you feel using "I" statements. For example, say, "I feel undermined when you say in front of my spouse and kids that I'm not a good parent. Even if we disagree, please respect my parenting." You can get your spouse involved to provide a different perspective. They can also talk to her on your behalf.
