[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen women who undermine the relationship because the mom still wants to be the mom. The wife is now the "mom" of her family, and in charge. I think for the MIL to stay a part of their life, she has to recognize she is now not the #1 woman in son's life.[/quote] This kind of mentality is the problem. It’s not a competition for #1 woman and if you think it is therein lies the problem. Is Dad also competing with wife for top spot? Son can have room in heart to love all of the special people in his life without having to pick favorites. If either wife or mom (god forbid both) see it as a competition, you’ve got a problem. Some sort of unnecessary alienation is bound to follow and everyone loses, even if they think they won. It’s not a competition people. [/quote]
