    When most people think of their Mother-in-law they may not have those warm fuzzy feelings.
    After watching this video those feelings may change.
    See, in Navajo culture the in-laws are a protected class. The family rallies around them and makes sure they are not treated poorly.
    But, in the case of the Son-in-law and Mother-in-law the dynamic is interesting. The two are never suppose to see each other.
    Some even say the mother-in-law would wear a bell so the son-in-law knew when she was around.
    Enjoy the video.

      I remember what Wally is talking about.
      I have the greatest respect for my brother in law. And we have been friends for over 65 years and counting. I remember when he would call for me. He would ask when my next days off will be. I would setup the days and I would come to his house. I never asked why. When he called. I was on my way to help.
      Even to this day. He calls. I make myself available for his needs.
      I also took care of my mother in law in her later years. She couldn't walk no more. I would carry her into the house. Get her bed setup. Made sure she was comfortable. I helped as much as I could before she passed on.
      My wife took care of her mom till the very end. ❤

    I never joked about my mother in law. She was the most wonderful woman i ever knew. I treated her with the greatest respect. I never question a task she wanted me to do. I always did what she wanted me to do.
    I helped care for her up to the day she passed on. My mom and my mother in law were best friends also.
    The family i married into have known each other for over 4 generations.

    If the son in law truly was in love with her daughter and treated her kindly, the mother in law would be extremly happy about that and there would be no problem between the 2. Possibly the woman who asked to be carried out to the sun light might have known this about him.

    • @2nickles647
      @2nickles647 8 місяців тому +1

      No. The son in law truly loved the daughter. The mother in law knew about it already.
      It was custom for the mother in law and the son in law never to see each other.
      At times. If by accident he is near. The mother in law would cover herself until he was gone. This was custom in the old days.
      Out of respect and gratitude for his son in law. She asked him to come over so she could see him because she was dying and asked his son in law to carry him to the sunlight and also she could see his face. Out of love for him. She said thank you.

    I have to assume it has to be so as to not offend your mother? Because in laws have always been no different from the rest of your extended family. For you are supposed to leave your parents for your wife. Maybe it goes into that? I have to assume its one of two, unless its so that no bad blood is made? other than that it would be similar to treating them as strangers & i don't see most of our ancestors doing that. Since family is one of the only things we have cared about, Besides the Great Spirit. Ayo Hawwah Great Spirit Bless.

Now with the advent of block lettering, it proved a reliable method of encryption to pass messages between 2 parties in pouches containing tiles so that each party descrambled what seemed the most plausible, relevant one. This method is still used today but if I explain how, YT will likely delete my reply LOL.
      Anyway, it's been said also that words containing anagrams have secret intentions & so this makes lying nearly impossible. Shows the Mind of the Creator to do this, since He doesn't like deception. You'd need much more than a supercomputer just to design such a system around the human brain faculty of language. Anagrams are believed to be a form of subliminal messaging & so are used for psych warfare. LOL NOTHING gets past this Mongol!

    once upon a time a man observed a conversation I was having with my husbandC and said "when are you going to give him is balls back?" i answered..."He didn't come with the balls you reference...Ask his mom".....I am a mother in law as well...once my son asked me "mom, do you expect me to discipline my wife?" I answered, "well son, that is between you and your wife. However, if you allow your wife to gossip about your family business and it causes harm and divides our extended family while burying the responsiblity she holds , then we have to decide what information she is privy to." needless to say...I must protect boundaries. My husband has a wife, I honor that. I first must honor THE TRUTH. My son left his mother and I honor his commitment by extending grace in his choice of remaining committed to his wife and children. I miss them. but. GRACE. AND UNDERSTANDING ARE PRINCIPLES WE ALL MUST EXTEND to others. EVEN IF THAT MEANS ABSENCE. I WOULD NOT BE COMFORTABLE WEARING A BELL AROUND MY NECK.
