[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. I'm curious how many of these MILs who are asking their son's wives to stay at home while they ask their their son to come over or do things with them without their son's wife is making any sort of effort to include the DIL into the family in other areas? Or to foster an independent relationship with her as their DIL? Does she ever and the DIL to go out shopping, or to get their nails done, or to grab lunch together?

I think why a lot of people seem to take issues with mother and son spending alone time together without their wife is because most men are gonna want their wives included and plus there is a very very fine line between wanting time alone with your son and the mothers that request this not being able to accept that their son's are married and they are no longer the #1 woman in their son's life so they are trying to subconsciously shit out the wife/their DIL or they are unable to cut the apron strings from their adult sons.[/quote]

OMG PEOPLE. I need to stop reading and replying because none of you are reading the thread but I said I’d be fine if he didn’t go and wanted to stay home with her! And also that I would invite her! You all. Seriously. You want so badly for me to be a monster.

Also this is all ridiculous stereotyping of moms and sons. Would you say the same and it was switched- daughter and boyfriend? If my son were a daughter, would you ask if I had taken her boyfriend out to get our nails done and that I was trying to take my daughter away from her boyfriend (of less than a year)?

Stop people! Let’s all be nice and realize we’re all just out there trying and some of us make mistakes sometimes. [/quote]

I feel you.

It is hard to let  go if what we did in the past (e.g., family vacations) and know when one door has closed.

Many of my friends are sad that when their adult child has partnered off, they rarely get to spend time with him/her alone. It is just the reality. [/quote]

In some cultures, its taken as a serious betrayal. [/quote]

GFs are treated like wives? Nope. In those cultures married DILs do not treat their MILs like that are now intruders on their DD/DS lives just because they are married. [/quote]

I meant DS putting his wife first. They practically say blood is thicker than semen.[/quote]
