i agree that even if she doesn't love her mother-in-law, just keep it to herself and not let the mother know. it's heartbreaking to know that your son's wife doesn't like/love you as his mother. have respect for the elder because without them, you wouldn't get your husband. The person telling the mom doesn't think before talking. i would be ashamed to even tell my mother-in-law that I don't love her. Just like the Hmong saying, you're not only marrying the guy but his family and relatives, therefore if you aren't able to love all of them then don't even bother marrying him. I say just make it fair, if the husband loves and treat his wife's family good then the girl should do the same back to his family because if not, then his family will have a hard time living together with the daughter-in-law knowing that the daughter-in-law doesn't like and love them. Just have respect for the elders, if the daughter-in-law doesn't say that to her own mother then why say it to her husband's mother, i understand that it's not her birth mother but still she's now her mother (doesn't matter birth mother or mother in law, she's still your mom).
