WHICH IN-LAW ARE YOU THEN?

-

We asked mind coach and TV presenter Anna Williamson for her take on the results. She says:

If you’re mostly As... Calm Down Dear!

It’s lovely that you care so much, but you run the risk of overdoing the “loving and supportive mother-in-law” act here. It’s great that you’re keen but be careful you don’t come across as a little bit too eager to please, or overbearin­g – you won’t do yourself any favours and your “yes” nature might get taken advantage of.

Be the wonderful kind motherin-law you clearly are, but don’t be afraid to say no sometimes, or to not be so readily available. They’ll appreciate you more for it.

If you’re mostly Bs... You’ve Nailed It

You’re the mother-in-law everyone wants to have and needs in their life. Kind, caring and supportive, but happy to keep your distance so as not to overcrowd the lovely couple.

You’ll get stuck in when asked, but stand back if your opinion isn’t needed. A healthy relationsh­ip with your daughter-in-law is likely, and you get as much pleasure from your new relationsh­ip as she does. Keep up the good work. Why not book a spa day together to enjoy quality time together?

If you’re mostly Cs... There’s a Chill in the Air

Well, either you REALLY don’t approve of the young lady, or you’re too scared of losing your son. What else could be making you unhappy and unsupporti­ve of this match (made in hell, as far you’re concerned)?

Work out why you’re so against this woman. Is it her, or would you not like anyone your precious boy wanted to hook up with? Perhaps shift your thinking to gaining a daughter, not losing a son... try and find a positive in their happiness and loosen your rigid thinking or you run the risk of driving BOTH of them away. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.
