With the exception when you are upset, and mean to show it, of always proclaim a bright and cheery "Good Morning" (Or Saalam) when you see your MIL first thing is the morning. This is regardless of the fact that she may come in and say 'What a messy kitchen, what have you been doing all morning!'.
MIL: 'What a messy kitchen, what have you been doing all morning!'.
You: (smile apologetically) 'I was just about to clean it. Good Morning!'
Once you've greeted her, ask her how she slept. (even if she complains that she didn't sleep a wink due to the heating being on too high/the noisy children/the trains that go by due to a bad location of the home you chose, be sympathetic).
Little Positive Strokes go a long, long way!
