1. Communication understanding: Have frank and in-depth communication with your husband, express your feelings and concerns, and let him understand the impact of the mother-in-law relationship on you and the support you hope to receive. At the same time, he also tried to understand his bias towards his mother-in-law from his perspective, possibly out of filial piety or habit, and to enhance mutual understanding through communication.

2. Seeking common solutions: Discuss with the husband how to improve the mother-in-law daughter-in-law relationship, and set up some family meetings or activities to promote communication and interaction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, increase mutual understanding and goodwill. At the same time, clarify the responsibilities and boundaries within the family, so that everyone is aware of their roles and obligations, reducing misunderstandings and conflicts.

3. Maintain independence and boundaries: If you still feel troubled after communicating and trying to improve, it is recommended to discuss with your husband how to maintain the independence and boundaries of your small family while respecting your mother-in-law. This includes maintaining a certain degree of autonomy in lifestyle, parenting concepts, and avoiding excessive involvement in conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate one's own interests and social circles, and reduce excessive attention to family conflicts.
