[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think (and I'm not a MIL yet) that sometimes moms make it their business because they think the wifey is misusing the son. Like working 60 hours a week is a lot when the DIL is SAHM and doing wine evenings every day "when life gets tough" with kids in disarray. Let's be honest, there are plenty of women who misuse men and MIL knows it first hand. [/quote]

Even if that’s the case it’s still not their business bc that’s a husband and wife matter. It’s insulting to your son to assume he is too dumb to see if for himself. And that he needs mommy to jump in and protect him from his wife. That goes back to what I said about the household arrangements being between the 2 of them. Husband is a big boy and can speak up. Yes working 60 hours is a lot but eventually you get to come home from doing that. Being a SAHM of young children who aren’t in school at all is just as challenging but in a different type of way than working an outside the home job. Interesting that MIL who is another woman and obviously used to be a mother of a young child herself wouldn’t appreciate a woman’s work being undervalued. Of course women deserve downtime! If anything I see it the opposite way where men come home and continue to assume all the parenting duties falls onto the mom instead of realizing that mom has been dealing with colicky screaming baby Larla alllll day and may need a break. Trust me men aren’t victims here being mistreated by mean women. It’s still not MIL’s business at all. Her son is a married man and has left the nest as an adult and doesn’t need his mom to swoop in and save him. Those are matters that are the business of husband and wife. Not a third party who isn’t even there.[/quote]
