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?

I often refer to this zone....as the DANGER ZONE. Step 1) located danger(your mum in law) Step 2) Assess the danger (how bad is it? would it cause even more trouble down the road? is it sporadic? or all the time?) Step 3) Understand the danger (find out why it's happening. Jealousy? Not enough time that your husband spends with her? She feels alone cos everyone moves out? No close friends to talk cock with?) Step 4) Diffuse the danger (once you find out the reason or many reasons, try solving it one by one. No friends? introduce her to chat groups or activities with groups. Doesn't trust you? Make it a point to have dinner with her alone just the both of you every week. and etc Step 5) Prevention vs Cure of danger (try your best to prevent it from happening again once it's solved!) Try your best! and be patient always!
