婆媳关系总是一个让人头疼的话题。原本非常相爱的小夫妻,很有可能因为婆媳关系处理不好,而导致婚姻破裂。或许婆婆和媳妇不生活在同一屋檐下是这个问题比较好的解决方法之一吧。
作为婆婆,既然儿子已经建立了自己的家庭,那么就应该放手,而不要很舍不得。
作为媳妇,也因为理解婆婆作为母亲的不舍。
相信只要大家互相换位思考,一定能够妥善处理好婆媳关系。

My husband and I are newlyweds living with my mother-in-law and it's driving us crazy. We had to move in with her when our apartment flooded and I was five months pregnant. Since then, every time an opportunity to leave has come up, something happens to dash those hopes, usually involving our finances and my credit.

to drive someone crazy   把(某人)逼疯;使(某人)抓狂

My husband goes to school full time and works part time, while I work full time. My mother-in-law is constantly telling us how to raise our baby, what is best for him, what he should eat, etc.

Please help us get out from under my mother-in-law's iron thumb. - Between the Mother-in-Law and the Bank
Dear Between:

Since you are not in a position to leave, you and your husband need to sit down with Mom and set some boundaries. First talk to Hubby alone, make sure you both want the same things, and then present a united front to Mom.

Explain that living with her has been a financial lifesaver and you are enormously grateful. But in order for you to become responsible parents, you must be the ones in charge of your child's care. You, your husband and child need to develop an autonomous unit so that when you are ready to move out, you will not be dependent on Mom.
