[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to say something ridiculous that I would only say on an anonymous forum:

Have you ever heard that silly old saying, "A daughter's a daughter all of her life. A son is a son until he takes a wife."?

I worry about this. [/quote]
I hate that stupid saying. I think it comes down to how you treat them as children and their spouse's family values. I am raising my sons to be responsible adults. I expect them to put their spouse and children's needs ahead of mine. I'm raising them to let them go live their lives. I hope to be part of that life. Meanwhile, I have plans for travels, tennis, lunches with friends. In other words, I eill still have a life to live when they're grown.[/quote]

I disagree.  It’s actually very common for the wife’s side to win out over the husband’s, especially when the wife sows discontent with the husband’s parents.  Women are very competitive that way.  [/quote]

I agree with this solely based on it's just easier for a DIL to deal with her own parents than it is to deal with ILs, even if they are great ILs[/quote]
