Once upon a time it seemed to the author that becoming a mother for his son’s chosen one was not so difficult. And only many years later it became clear what a difficult path had to be taken, how much work had to be done to implement this plan... This fascinating and witty book talks in detail about the different options for the “mother-in-law - daughter-in-law” tandem. It is not easy to build relationships in general, and in a new family, where two families, two worldviews, two worlds meet, it is doubly difficult. Is it realistic for two women, who are closest to their husband and son in one person, not only to avoid quarrels, but also to become family to each other?.. Leave the young mistress to steer the family ship on her own, or intervene, help and mentor?.. Or maybe, as often happens, the golden mean is important?.. There are many questions, and the answers to them are very ambiguous. However, according to Asya Kotlyar, there are rules that will help to achieve mutual understanding. And the most important of them is “You need to love.” No, not quite like that: “You need to learn to love.” And then everything will definitely work out!
