Mothers-in-law are always nosy.

The role of the mother-in-law has long been the subject of jokes and stereotypes. It is often said that mothers-in-law are always interfering and nosy when it comes to their children's marriages. This perception is deeply ingrained in many cultures around the world, leading to a strained relationship between daughters-in-law and their mothers-in-law.

In many societies, the mother-in-law is seen as the primary caretaker of her son and holds a significant influence over his decisions, including who he marries.

This leads to a power struggle between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, as both women vie for dominance and control in the household.

Mothers-in-law often feel threatened by the presence of a new woman in their son's life. They may feel jealous, as they see their once close relationship with their son being replaced by the daughter-in-law. This can lead to mothers-in-law being overly protective and intrusive in their son's marriage, constantly meddling in the couple's affairs.

The meddling often takes the form of unsolicited advice, constant criticism, and an overbearing attitude. Mothers-in-law may feel entitled to voice their opinions on how the couple should raise their children, manage their finances, or even decorate their home. This intrusion can strain the relationship between the couple and breed resentment and tension.

Daughters-in-law, on the other hand, may feel that their personal space and independence are being encroached upon.
