[quote=GUESTTEX,270709]well, I have encounter the same problem too, even though i haven't married yet.
My mother has been very demanding to my girl friend ever since we be together. I understand that they came from different generation, different background and different culture, so, my mother has been very upset about why my girl friend would not act as what-she-think that a good daughter-in-law should, and following all the traditional way... I've promised my mum to teach her in someway in order to please her.. but sometimes, even I myself also cant really do accordingly or agree to my mother's old-chinese-traditional "law".

My girl friend ever ask me the same question, asking me when she and my mum fell into the river at the same time, who will I save first. She has got her own answer already, but still, she asked me. Luckily, my answer matched with hers, where she said she will learns how to swim to safe herself beforehand, and I have to safe my mother.... It was very touching when i heard of this, as she answered me before I answered. My answer to her was, "I will teach you how to swim before things happen, for you to safe yourself, even when I am not around." I hope she really can do so at her very best.. I hope she could really understand my standing too.

We are not living under one roof yet, but, it will definitely happen as I won't left my parents behind. I agree with what jimmy said that our mother would feel as if the wife has seized their son from her. Out of a little bit of jealousy, the relationship between a mother and daughter in law would be tighten, and we as a middle man between the two parties, our role is very important to please both sides, and lighten the relationship... It would be easier, if we understand the feeling of both parties...

Good luck to you and me....[/quote]
