Know about her hobbies

The very first and easy thing that you can do is to find what the favorite hobbies of your mother-in-law are. Suppose, if she loves to cook, you also add your interest in cooking. Start experimenting different recipes with her and ask every time different questions making her feel that you are learning things from her. Sit together in front of the television at leisure time to see some cookery programs. If she has some other hobbies also, such as of stitching, then you can show an equal amount of interest in it. If you don’t know stitching, then have some patience and slowly learn from her. She may scold you at times when you go wrong, but this will altogether strengthen the bond between you two. Search out for any workshop going on in the city for stitching, and go with her to spend some more quality time.
