Jokes and subtle humor have not lost their relevance for centuries. People make fun of stupidity and vices, various social phenomena and problems, but the most "tenacious" are family jokes. In particular, jokes are still being made about the mother-in-law.

Step 1
Old traditions. Since ancient times, when a young man took a girl to be his wife, he took her from the parental home to his own. And not always such changes in the life of a young woman were for the better. Having come to a completely new place with still strangers, she had to adapt, learn to manage the household in accordance with the habits and requirements of her husband's parents, constantly obey and not contradict. This situation gave rise to a large number of clashes, conflicts and mutual claims, which subsequently found a way out in jokes, sayings and, of course, anecdotes. The offended daughters-in-law inevitably defended themselves with humor, ridiculing the unfair treatment of themselves and the exorbitant demands of their mother-in-law. Naturally, not all girls found themselves in the same situations, some were more fortunate, some less. But there was always a chance to fall under the oppression of the eternally disgruntled monster mother-in-law. This is how anecdotes and satirical stories were born among the people, which have not disappeared to this day.
Step 2
Living under one roof. And in our time it often happens that newlyweds are forced to interact on the same territory with the husband's parents. This provokes purely everyday conflicts. If earlier the way of life of people was approximately the same, for example, in rural areas people were engaged in farming and farming according to the established schedule, now the type of work and the daily routine of family members can be very different. In confined spaces and small apartments, this problem is especially acute. Naturally, disputes and conflicts are brewing, caustic phrases, offensive comparisons and not always good jokes are born. Daughters-in-law describe in paints the hardships of their life with the husband's mother, ridicule their inappropriate amendments and comments, claims and demands. And about the mother-in-law's habit of getting out of her own business, a myriad of anecdotes are born.
Step 3
Psychological problem. Another reason for the "vitality" of jokes about the mother-in-law is the inability of the mother to let her son go into the hands of another woman. In fact, the daughter-in-law becomes a rival for her, claiming the attention and care of a man. This situation is sometimes similar to a tug-of-war and from the outside can seem quite comical, as two adult women begin to behave like little children who have not shared something with each other. Such behavior inevitably forms the basis of anecdotes and satirical stories.
