[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should not be a question, and the fact it is, says your DH is a douche or  a momma's boy.

Unless there is a medical reason, like she gets motion sickness, the MIL sits in the back.

Are you from a conservative family or something?
[/quote] wow. [/quote]

double wow[/quote]

Triple wow.  The sad thing is that she probably doesn't realize why all the "wows."  Imagine knowing her IRL.[/quote]
I'm the first PP, and I'm Asian American.  :wink:

My mom and MIL both sit in the back unless they have health issues.[/quote]

I hope you remember this when your kids put you in a crappy nursing home.  [/quote]
My spouse and I take care of our moms as much as we can; we live thousands of miles away.  They are both in their 80s, and they both live at home.  I help my mom pay her bills.  If they need nursing care, we'd help pay for that and make sure it's a nice place.

Why would it be any harder to get out of the car sitting in the passenger side if there are four doors?

Like I said, unless there is a health issue, why do people assume the MIL gets to sit up front?

IMO, that assumption typifies the hierarchical nature of the MIL/DIL dynamic.  In my marriage, my MIL nor my mother  dictate anything about our lives.[/quote]

Holy smokes there is a lot to unpack in your little diatribe so I'll just stick with the most important issue.  It is this:

You don't see that your mother or your mother-in-law are elders and, as such, that you should defer to them because it is a sign of respect?

Wow.  Something went terribly wrong in your upbringing.[/quote]
