Learn how to cope when your son brings a new woman into your life and home, and with VideoJug's help, form a great relationship with your new daughter-in-law.

Step 1: The mother's approach

Don't try to compete with your daughter-in-law. Don't bargain for time with him, so back off a little. Treat her as a friend, not like you're her mother.

Don't look for faults and don't criticise her to your son. Try to look for her good points.

Step 2: The father's approach

Treat her like another adult. Don't belittle your son in front of her and don't recount embarrassing anecdotes. Also don't mention his ex-girlfriends in front of her.

Step 3: The ongoing relationship

This is your son's choice, you must respect his wishes. Be happy for him. Do your best to form a great relationship between you and you can then be there to help and advice them in the future.

    MY SON IS IN THE ARMY AND HIS WIFE AND BABY DAUGHTER MOVED TO ALASKA RECENTLY. SHE IS ONLY 17 YRS OLD AND SHE CAN NOT STAND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT MY SON AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD AND SHE HAS DONE EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO PULL HIM AWAY FROM ME EVERY SINCE THEY STARTED DATING. NOW THEY ARE MARRIED AND IN THE ARMY. EVEN IN ALASKA SO FAR AWAY, SHE HAS PRHIBITTED HIM FROM TALKING TO ME. HE EVEN HAD TO SET UP A SEPERATE E-MAIL ACCOUNT JUST SO HE COULD TALK TO ME BUT APPARENTLY SHE FOUND IT BECAUSE NOW HE DOESN'T EVEN WRITE ME BACK ANYMORE. HE WONT ANSWER HIS PHONE HE WONT CALL BACK, AND HE DIDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE US ON MOTHERS DAY AND FATHERS DAY. wHAT CAN i DO?
