[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I read the other thread and as a mom of three boys, it totally depressed me. It's like "don't tell them what you're thinking and defer to daughter in law." Anyone else feel this way? [/quote]

I've got two boys (teens) and I love them with all of my heart.  I have a close relationship with them and hope that we always will remain close.  BUT I am raising my boys to be good men who will be able to make good decisions for themselves.  Once they are all grown up and out of my house, married with a family of their own it will not be my place to intrude into their marriage/family with my unsolicited opinions and advice.

If they ever need me or ask for my opinion I will be here for them.  But I hope that I will never be considered a meddler because I really do not admire that or want that trait in myself.  I do hope to make my home a place that they (my boys and their wives/kids) will want to visit with their families.  I do hope that I can get to know any future grandkids.   But that is still a ways off for me.[/quote]
