| Leave it alone OP, If it's not broken, don't fix it. Your DH is the better judge of how to articulate with his own parents. He is also a saint. |
yy +100 You came to the relationship at Chapter 17. He's been there 1-16. My dad always said that wrt in-law dynamics. Only took me 13 years to understand and follow husband's lead vs trying to "fix" what seemed broken to me. |

It feels rude because it is rude it's not a boundary. He's being as rude his mother.
But let him handle it maybe rudeness is how his family rolls. |
Setting boundaries is fine, but do you like adults to treat you like a toddler? |
THIS!! |
I love that advice from your Dad. I wish I’d learned it earlier!! Though it only works if no one is being railroaded. |
| Is this post just to make all of us jealous about your amazing DH? Because if so it worked. |
| You need to have sex with this man asap. That is the sexiest thing ever! |
| A mean who has boundaries with his mother. Swoon. |
If you don’t want people to use their toddler-parenting skills on you, stop reminding them of their toddlers. |
Omigosh, this. I tried to help my dh with his challenging mom and everytime I interfered it came back to bite me on the ass. I stay out of it now and we’re all better off for it. |
He really is. |
| I'm a guy and the shorter version of this I use is "if the answer must be now the answer must be no." Applies to any sales decisions as well when they try to pressure you to make a decision on the spot. |
| Team husband - we could all learn from him! |
| He’s smart. Let him do that. |
