Secondly, you can communicate your thoughts with your husband in detail, and let this problem be communicated by your husband and mother-in-law. In this way, your mother-in-law will accept it very easily. If you say this in person, it may arouse the resentment of your mother-in-law, but it is not particularly good. In fact, as a real mother-in-law, she may not want to live with her daughter-in-law. From ancient times to the present, it is difficult for mother-in-law to get along with her. If she doesn't get along well, she will. If you can really let her mother-in-law do her own thing, I believe her mother-in-law will be very willing, so this matter is easy to solve. As long as you communicate with her mother-in-law, you will be understood.
Finally, you can find something that your mother-in-law is interested in, so that her mother-in-law will focus more on what she is interested in and may not have much time to interfere in her own affairs. In fact, by doing so, she can get her mother-in-law's concern and solve her current problems, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, I think my mother-in-law can still solve many problems around me, so as long as we regard her as our own mother, I believe that the two people will get along very harmoniously and will not have conflicts because of other small things.
