[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This^. A loving mom wouldn’t want to be the reason of tension, fight or stress between her son and his wife. Period. [/quote]

Disagree.  A loving mom absolutely will talk to her child when she sees that the spouse is not treating the child correctly or who is causing harm and trauma to the child.  If that causes tension, fight or stress between the child and the spouse, then so be it.[/quote]

You didn’t read the post. It specifically says abuse is the one exception. I assume by “harm and trauma” you mean abuse. [/quote]

No, harm and trauma don't have to mean abuse.  They mean that they aren't good for that child.  Not everything has to be abusive.  A good parent will say something if their child is not their happiest self.[/quote]

And if the child is not “their happiest self” because their parent is fomenting tension in their marriage, is that really a good parent? I would suggest not. [/quote]

Hmmm, we (meaning my husband or myself) or one of the kid's siblings would step in if we saw that the marriage wasn't functioning well or that the spouse was causing problems.  So, yes, that is being a good parent and a good sibling.  I don't care as much about the marriage as I care about my kid being happy.  If the marriage isn't making my kid happy then I will certainly say something, presuming one of the kids or my husband doesn't beat me to it.   :wink:   [/quote]
