What is the reason for the tension between brides and mothers-in-law?

The team at Haberler.com asked citizens in Bursa, "Why can't the bride and mother-in-law get along?"

WOULDN'T WE WANT MOM TO BE HAPPY TOO?

When we asked the question "Why can't brides and mothers-in-law get along?" in the streets of Bursa, we received many different answers. Some emphasized the competition between the bride and mother-in-law, while others said, "The mother always acts with the instinct to protect her son." Another person drew attention to the balance issue within the family by saying, "The groom is caught in the middle but has to side with his mother no matter what."

A SON THAT CAN'T BE SHARED?

Some people attributed the problem to the son not being shared. The view that "The bride wants things her way, while the mother-in-law fights not to let her son be oppressed" gained weight. Differences in opinions and communication gaps between the bride and mother-in-law make family relationships complicated.

GENERATIONAL CONFLICT OR JEALOUSY?

Some attributed these disagreements to generational differences, saying that the ideas of young people and the elderly do not align. There were also those who said, "The mother-in-law causes problems because she is jealous of her son." In general, both sides insisting on their own desires makes compromise difficult.
