To the younger woman, the older one is the Direct Resource, the star of nurture and protection. To the mother-in-law, the younger is the Hurting Officer, the star of wit and bold ideas. In plain words: the older woman gives generously, and the younger one isn't shy to speak her mind.

Clever words can sting a generous heart. The mother-in-law may feel the younger woman takes without thanks, or criticises her ways. The daughter-in-law may feel the older woman is everywhere. Thanks for specific things work better than general ones. And it's worth choosing when to share an opinion, not just whether.

Generous care meets a sharp mind; specific thanks and good timing make it work.
