I really hate my mother in law. She gets jealous easily. She made such a big fuss and cried when my hubby gave me a gift for wedding anniversary. My hubby is at his wits end. We bring my in laws out regularly and buy things for her occasionally too. How do I tell her to grow up?

It's normal for mothers-in-law to feel left out. But there is a danger that their jealousy will go overboard. The first thing you need to do is to try and understand where she is coming from. Why does she feel upset at something as simple as a gift? You can't control her actions but you can control how you handle it. Respect her above all as the mother of your husband and try to have more patience. Talking to her gently and with love may help in this situation and will also help to strengthen your bond in the process. Hope this helps.
