World Mother-in-Law Day c. Tomorrow is the favorite holiday of any son-in-law - International Mother-in-Law Day. Mother-in-law's Day in Russia is an important holiday

For over 70 years, the 4th Sunday of October has been celebrated as International Mother-in-Law Day. The birthplace of the celebration is America, where it is celebrated on a grand scale. The holiday first appeared on March 5, 1934. Over the years, it was decided to change the date due to specific circumstances.

history of the holiday

The ancestor of International Mother-in-Law Day is the editor of one of the local newspapers in the US state of Texas. History has not preserved his name. In an issue of his newspaper, he published an article dedicated to the holidays Mother's Day and Father's Day. The material would have remained unremarkable if, at its conclusion, the author had not drawn an analogy with his mother-in-law. According to him, this woman plays a key role in the lives of children of both sexes, and she does not have her own holiday!

The editor liked the author's joke. The theme was developed, and on March 5, 1934, Mother-in-Law Day was celebrated in the USA for the first time. A couple of years later, the baton was picked up by the countries of Latin America and Europe, over time, the celebration became one of the most beloved in the whole world. Needless to say, the joke was able to take root, which could not but please the mothers of the wives.

At first, Mother-in-Law's Day was celebrated in the spring, but then it was possible to move it to the 4th Sunday of October. In the Russian Federation, this holiday began to be celebrated more or less only at the end of the 90s, that is, not very long ago. However, it has not yet received proper distribution, which can only be sincerely regretted.

Every fourth Sunday in October, the world celebrates an unusual, but undoubtedly the favorite holiday of any son-in-law - International Mother-In-Law Day.

Although it does not yet have official status, it is already very popular in many countries. Originating in the 1930s in the United States as a joke (according to one of the versions - as an alternative to Mother's Day), subsequently, every year, he gained more and more fans, including in other English-speaking countries.

As evidenced by a number of sources, this informal event began to be celebrated since 1934 with the "light hand" of the editor of one of the American newspapers in the state of Texas, who spoke in his publication about this "joke", drawing a parallel with such respected holidays as Mother's Day and Father's Day . Declaring that the mother-in-law is the second mother, he noted that it was fair that all mothers-in-law have their own "professional" holiday.

This joke caught on, and soon the holiday was celebrated with pleasure not only by residents of the United States, but also by some countries of Latin America, and then Europe.

At first, Mother-in-Law's Day was celebrated in the spring, but then its date moved to the fourth Sunday in October. And traditionally it is celebrated, of course, in the family circle. In Russia, this holiday became known not so long ago and has not yet become widespread, which is a pity ...

After all, this is a very useful holiday - first of all, it is designed to improve relations between two important family members, mother-in-law and son-in-law, whose dislike for each other and enmity have long been a reason for jokes (at best, and at worst - leads to family breakup).

It is no secret that, without having established relations with the mother-in-law from the very beginning, there will be no peace in the family. Men know that in her face it is possible to make an enemy for many years. Therefore, if you (men) want to get a friend and helper, including in raising your children (her grandchildren), then treat this woman with respect and due respect.

However, extreme cases are not excluded, when it is almost impossible to build a normal relationship between mother-in-law and son-in-law. And although, according to psychologists, son-in-law conflicts are a normal phenomenon, because these two people are completely strangers to each other, and in addition, there is a big difference between them in age, upbringing, interests ...

But still, there is something that unites them - a woman - for one - a wife, for the second - a daughter, who, forcedly or with pleasure, acts as an intermediary between these two sides of the dialogue / conflict. And therefore, if both sides love this "intermediary", they must find a compromise.

And although a number of men are of the opinion that the happiest person on earth is the biblical Adam - he never had a mother-in-law ...

But, in any case, I would like to cite eloquent everyday proverbs from Dahl's dictionary: "A mother-in-law's son-in-law is a beloved son" or "One born child is a daughter, and another betrothed is a son-in-law."

Meanwhile, the veneration of mother-in-law in many countries of the world has an ancient tradition. For example, the tribes that inhabited the territory of modern America had a special relationship with mothers-in-law, and the son-in-law had no right to speak, approach her, or touch her things without permission. But the mother-in-law, in turn, also had no right to interfere in the affairs of her son-in-law and give him advice.

By the way, linguists explain the origin of the Russian word "mother-in-law" as a derivative of the word "father-in-law" or "parent", that is, she is a "parent". And some language researchers believe that the Russian word "mother-in-law" comes from the verb "comfort". Therefore, celebrating today's holiday, men, do not skimp on compliments and gifts to your mother-in-law, be attentive and friendly towards her.

And most importantly, remember that in front of you is a real woman who raised a precious treasure for you - your wife, who taught her to be an excellent housewife, a faithful wife and a caring mother.

Mother-in-Law Day is celebrated every year on the fourth Sunday in October. In 2018, the holiday is celebrated on October 28. It was first noted in the USA in 1934. The editor of one newspaper jokingly noted that Mother's Day exists, but the mother-in-law is a “second mother”. Therefore, it would be unforgivable not to honor her with your attention. Over time, the holiday has spread throughout the world. Mother-in-law's Day in Russia began to be celebrated not so long ago. However, a growing number of people think that this holiday is great.

Happy International Mother-in-Law Day!

Traditions

Mother-in-law's Day is an exceptionally cheerful and kind holiday. Of course, it is celebrated in the overwhelming majority of cases in the family circle. No status events are held on this day at the official level. At most, they can report on some kind of curiosity on one of the popular radio or TV channels.

They say that by the quality of the pancakes put on the table, one can judge the real attitude of the mother-in-law towards her son-in-law.

And beautiful and slim

And smart - she writes poems,
Sing - anyone will hear!
He loves his son-in-law and regrets
Has a good heart

Always speaks with a smile
Doesn't scold for mistakes
No one washes bones
Rarely visits...

I don’t need another mother-in-law!

I have always admired you.
I only ventured to be rude a couple of times.
Even survived at Epiphany
And I didn’t push you into the hole.

The earth does not know such love!
I'm not too lazy to eat pancakes from you.
I bring flowers for you, dear,
On International Mother-in-Law Day!
***
Who saves us every day?
In the evening he will sit with the child,
Sometimes it helps out with rubles,
And when he worries at night, he does not sleep.

Who brings us products from the garden -
Though we don't ask, we take
After all, you can’t say that the mother-in-law is already wearing us,
But we certainly will not die of hunger!

On this day I want to wish you happiness,
Many years and many smiles.
And of course, despite all the bad weather,
You go ahead without fear of mistakes.

You love your son-in-law like your own son!
Let's drink today for you!
Know that you are our best teacher
And you can't run away from us!

My mother-in-law is a fabulous grove,
My mother-in-law is a bird on the branches!
You could say not loudly, easier,
But such a day today and scope! ..

On Mother-in-Law Day of the Whole Earth Planetary
I wish you to become all my relatives,
So that about mom-2 at the hour before dawn
I remembered from the depths of the roots!

We got together at the evening with pancakes,
Your daughter is more valuable than those pancakes!
I will not come to you with poison-chemical-mushrooms,
I'll just sit down and say: Pour it!

And toasts are all that sounded here
Let sorrows be driven away.

And you as a gift - this brooch.

Be happy and cheerful, take care of your family peace
I wish that we are always friends with you.

The most beloved holiday of all men - Mother-in-Law Day, is celebrated every fourth Sunday in October. And, although it is not considered official, and appeared quite recently - in the 1930s, and originated as a comic holiday, it quickly gained popularity. The word "mother-in-law" itself is derived from the word "father-in-law" or "parent". So she is a true parent.

Some believe that "mother-in-law" comes from the word "comfort." Mother-in-law's Day, according to one version, is an alternative to Father's Day and Mother's Day. Such a comparison was made by one of the editors of the Texas newspaper. After all, the mother-in-law is also a mother, albeit not her own, but still.

When is mother-in-law's day

Mother-in-law's Day was first celebrated on March 5, 1934. And the beginning of the tradition to celebrate such an interesting event was laid in the USA and Latin America. Over time, this date was moved to October. In 2016, this wonderful holiday falls on October 23rd.

Mother-in-law's Day in Ukraine is traditionally celebrated in a close family circle. The son-in-law undertakes all the preparations for the feast in honor of his second mother. And in the family circle, at the set table, he says words of gratitude for a well-educated daughter, for help, understanding and care.

This is how we celebrate in our country. But, for example, in one of the Indian tribes from the moment of the engagement of her daughter until her death, the mother-in-law does not talk to her son-in-law and does not even look into his eyes. In some tribes that inhabited the territory of modern America, the son-in-law could neither speak nor approach the mother-in-law without permission. It was forbidden even to touch her things. But it's not all bad here. The mother-in-law, in turn, also could not interfere in the affairs of her son-in-law. That is, it turns out two completely non-contiguous families. It's about celebrating the holiday - Mother-in-law's Day and there can be no talk.

And one more interesting fact. In a Colombian city there is a custom according to which the mother-in-law is present at the wedding night of the young. A little awkward, isn't it?

And here is the good one. It was thanks to his mother-in-law that V. Roentgen discovered his rays. He forgot to turn off one of his devices and went to bed. An hour later, his mother-in-law woke him up and said that when she passed by the office, she saw light through a crack in the door. V. Roentgen went to have a look and found that the screen was glowing with a glow that was not yet known at that time. Further it received the name "X-rays".

Congratulations on Mother-in-Law's Day

So how to congratulate and what to give for mother-in-law's Day? As mentioned above, grandiose festivities are not arranged on this day. The closest people gather at the festive table. The son-in-law says warm words to his wife's mother. After all, she gave birth, raised and raised such a wonderful daughter. Anything that your heart desires can serve as a gift on this day. From a holiday card to a car. But, believe me, the most important gift to your mother-in-law will be your gratitude and love.

Mother-in-law's day is a cheerful and kind holiday. It was first noted in the USA in 1934. The editor of one newspaper was jokingly noted that there is, but the mother-in-law is a “second mother”. Therefore, it would be unforgivable not to honor her with your attention. Over time, the holiday has spread throughout the world. Mother-in-law's Day in Russia began to be celebrated not so long ago. However, a growing number of people think that this holiday is great. On Mother-in-Law's Day in Russia, all sons-in-law forget all kinds of vicious anecdotes. They treat their wives' mothers very politely, thanking them for being able to raise their daughters so well. The culprits of the celebration, in turn, are trying to improve relations by treating the sons-in-law with pancakes.

Mother-in-law's Day in Russia is a revered holiday

So, in more detail. Warm words of love are heard in many families on Mother-in-Law's Day in Russia. When is this wonderful event celebrated? The date chosen was October 26th. A festive table, sincere toasts, a friendly family atmosphere - all this perfectly cheers up. The main thing is to try to organize everything well. Then this unforgettable day will be remembered for a long time by the hero of the occasion.

Make an original gift

What else can you please your wife's mother on Mother-in-Law's Day? In Russia, when such celebrations are celebrated, as a rule, gifts are given. Make this time a nice interesting present. For example, draw her portrait with a slate pencil. Its invention is also dated October 26, 1492. You can draw a portrait yourself or order from an artist.

On the same date in 1861, the German inventor Philipp Reis demonstrated it. So you can stop at such a gift.

Or you can take a ride on the subway. On the first line. In 1900, the first subway stations opened in New York on this day.

Something nylon will also work. The development of this synthetic material was completed in chemical laboratories on October 26, 1938.

Well, if you don’t want to give a mother-in-law a rarity or stockings, you can make a more serious present. On October 26, 2000, the Australian diamond company launched the sale of polished diamonds in the global network.

Play a little joke on the mother-in-law

And here are some more fun that are suitable for Mother-in-Law's Day. In Russia, this date is known precisely as this holiday. But in other countries, many interesting events happened on this day. For example, in 1956 the International Atomic Energy Agency was formed, in 1963 - a nuclear explosion was carried out in Nevada, in 1980 - a London protest march for nuclear disarmament took place. Use these dates to explain why your mother-in-law has an explosive temper.

If even protests cannot “disarm” your spouse’s mother, and you consider her “not the nicest woman in the world,” think about the fact that perhaps you yourself are heating up the relationship. Remember that on this day in 1987, the smallpox virus was eradicated from nature. So you try to correct the situation, starting right from this holiday. Take the first steps.

Be sure to celebrate

Let's sum up. You should not think about whether it is worth arranging a holiday for your mother-in-law. Of course yes! This woman "gave" you the most precious thing that you now have. Be grateful to her for that. Rejoice, congratulate, give presents, set tables. In a word, do not be in debt. When mother-in-law's Day is celebrated in Russia, goodness, warmth and love reign in the house. This is a great reason to celebrate. All family members will be able to cheer themselves up, relax and have fun from the heart. Therefore, do not doubt that your efforts will be appreciated. The "second mother" must be loved, appreciated and respected. Rest assured, she will repay you in kind! Don't forget about this wonderful woman!
