[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that a matriarch mindset exists whether or not it is articulated as such. I believe that most conflicts between MILs and DILs are actually battles for matriarchal control of the family culture and values. [/quote] Culture and values? Such as what? [/quote] NP I'd agree with this. I have big differences of opinion as to how I want holidays celebrated. I want sit down dinners. I want screaming children at 6am opening presents while we all drink hot cocoa. I want it joyous and happy. MIL wants appetizers on paper plates. Kids have to stay in our room until everyone is done showering (10 am last time). She's extremely informal, no alcohol. Our two ways just can't coexist. I don't have the same issues with how my mom celebrates. My mom asks for our opinions and we don't have to spend the night at her house, she comes to ours. [/quote]
