[quote=Anonymous]A spin off of the other thread kinda:

When will MILs realize that how her son and DIL conduct their marriage is zero percent her business!? If the DIL stays at home and the son works 60 hours a week and they are HAPPY and that arrangement works for them then it’s between the 2 of them and any children they may have. If the DIL works 60 hours a week and the son stays home also not the MIL’s business. If the child is in daycare\preschool and the DIL and son both work also not MIL’s business. If the son works a lot of hours and they have no children and the DIL prefers to stay home to do a cartwheel everyday at 1 and 3 PM again not her business.

Why would the MIL’s default be to assume her son isn’t 100% ok in the arrangement of their marriage otherwise he would leave. Why treat men like they are poor poor helpless victims to meanie evil women. What is MIL’s business is her own household whether that is her and her husband, her and her wife, or her and her BF/GF, or her living alone. Her son has now grown up and moved on and has his own household and his marriage is his business.

Besides being a SAHM is a huuuge contribution. Saving money on an expensive daycare/preschool. Not to mention all the labor that the DIL is doing that doesn’t have to be outsourced for such as hiring a housekeeper, nanny, lawn maintenance person etc. which if both people in the marriage work and have kids they might not have time to do.

Also I find it ironic that MILs who are women themselves belittle another woman’s choice or look down on something. It sets the woman’s movement back so far.[/quote]
