Dear Annie: My new daughter-in-law has let herself go since marrying my son

A mother-in-law contacted the Dear Annie column regarding her new daughter-in-law, claiming she stopped putting effort into her looks and dresses like a slob since the wedding. Annie advises the mother-in-law against discussing the daughter-in-law's appearance. Instead, the advisor suggests being supportive, as there may be other underlying reasons for the change in behavior. The guidance emphasizes support over criticism to maintain the family relationship despite the mother-in-law's concerns about the daughter-in-law's presentation.
