Mothers naturally are over protective. Most times, they do it out of impulse, without knowing. They may see you as incompetent of taking care of their son and that is why she thinks you are not good enough. You may likely do same if you were in her shoes so do not blame her.

There are several ways to make her love you as see you as a good fit for her son. Either ways, you need her blessings to move on in the marriage, so getting her to like you should be a priority. Here are several tips on making her see you are competent.

Genuinely Care: Showing that you care genuinely can draw her heart closer to you. She may stop you from caring about her, but let her feel that it is natural to you. Do not try to force it, show her love and she would love you back.

Control Your Anger: I know you might be tempted to get angry when it seems like she's frustrating you. Do not get angry. Learn to control your anger, even when it hurts. Don't try to prove anything. Let her always be right, it might be a test for the meantime and you need to pass it.

Work Hard: Most times, when mother in laws think we are not good enough, it is because in reality, we aren't. Stop being lazy and learn to work hard. Demand to assist in the kitchen as well as with other house duties and don't just sit and mop around all day.

It may take a while, but with consistency and determination, your mother in law will get to see and understand that you are the best for her son.
