[quote=YINDUFFY,294257]My Chinese wife has five older brothers and two younger sisters. Her father was an Army Officer and her mother was a dancer in the Chinese Army. All my wife's family was raised in the desert of Xinjiang. Since the death of her husband twenty years ago, my mother-in-law has been passed from family to family and none of her daughters in law liked having her around. My wife has spent many hours on the telephone with her brothers (two of whom are doctors) negotiating her care. 
   Unfortunatley for me, the old lady is now in our spare bedroom here in New Hampshire, U.S.A. She has a bad heart, bad eyes, walks very slowly and speaks not a word of English. She will not play with my daughter ( 5 years old) or even pick her up and only sees other old Chinese ladies on Wednesday and Sunday when we take her to a Chinese Bible Church.
    She cannot read Chinese (well) or English at all. We put on CCTV on the internet for her to keep abreast of things but she has no social life 5 days a week.
     The old tradition of the Mother-In-Law dominating the son's wife has led to a backlash where the women don't want to have to put up with it anymore. There is no easy solution.[/quote]
