This is a follow-up from my earlier post titled ‘Mother-in-law = Woman hitler’. Several women friends have asked where to get the book.
It is available online. You can read excerpts of the book too. But then, trust me, just buy. It is only RM18 (and maybe some postage involve).
Men - Get it for yourself. Read it and learn what NOT to say to your wife. I guarantee that you will need to sleep less on the sofa in the living room. Your wife’s heart is going to melt when she sees you trying to ‘learn’ to deal with two women in your life. Be a filial son, learn how to avoid hurting mom unintentionally. After that, charm the missus to read it too.
Ladies - Grab a copy and know what to expect when you commit your life to a man. The book will give you some insights on how to avoid the hellish first few years should your personality clashed with the MIL. Most times, your mom and your MIL have two different personalities. It is a big cultural shock if you can’t adjust. If you are getting along fine with the MIL, also read ‘cos who knows you will become better DIL?
Go to Fishtail’s blog, check the right panel. He has written other books beside this ‘Mother-in-law Daughter-in-law‘ like ‘Looking after mother‘.
These books are written from our Asian’s perspective and are sensitive to our quirky ways. For e.g. MIL and maid conflicting roles, our children upbringing etc.

RB - Ya, Simon reminded me the other day. Scary…I am going to be a mother-in-law from hell.
bkworm - Not really. Warren was a marriage counsellor and he is a man. So, his views may differ from a woman. Go on, give it a try. I beat gong for you to sell them.
Joe - Oi, only RM18 la. So kiamsiap, want refund somemore.
