[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] Family culture: Parenting practices, breastfeeding, childcare, egalitarian parenting or traditional gender roles, parenting girls vs. boys and how that is done, views re: screen time, how to spend holidays (formal, informal, when to open gifts, what kind of gifts are given), food, music, religion. The list goes on. Values: Private school, public school, religious education and practice, various areas of ethics, political views.[/quote]
