Meeting the mom is a major milestone in any relationship. We all know the term "mama bear" for a reason. Moms are known for being fiercely protective of their babies — no matter how old that baby might be.
Committing to someone means, to a degree, also committing to being a part of their wider family, which isn't a walk in the park when you can tell you're not a fan favorite.
It's one thing for people to have their differences, but usually, you can tell when a mom has it out for you and wants you as far from their kid as possible.
Have you ever found yourself at odds with your significant other's mom? It can be really uncomfortable at best, but at worst, things can get toxic fast.
Those who have been there will tell you there are signs to look out for that your future in-laws are going to be a pain, like ignoring boundaries or trying to control situations.
Maybe they're the kind of person who cannot be pleased or throws blame your way when anything goes wrong.
If you've been there, share your wisdom and warn others. What are the signs your future mother-in-law may cause legitimate problems in your relationship?
