Women and their mothers-in-law do disagree on how to raise their kids pretty often
The book In-law Relationships: Mothers, Daughters, Fathers, and Sons, which includes a survey and interview responses from more than 1,500 people, shows that only about 15% of MILs and DILs have a really difficult relationship. In fact, more than half feel good about their bond (while the rest are neutral).
However, 52% of daughters-in-law strongly disagree or disagree that they have the same parenting philosophy as their mothers-in-law.
Florida-based licensed marriage and family therapist Danielle Sethi, who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family conflicts, told Bored Panda that a common reason for differences in parenting philosophy is the shift in generations.
“Each generation has different values and has access to more information about nutrition, psychology, and overall parenting approach,” she explained to us. “Mothers-in-law may have ideas about how to parent from their own experience, while daughters-in-law wish to create their own methods and do things on their own terms.”
