[quote=Anonymous]My DH slowly transitioned into thinking his new primary family unit was him, me, and our kid, not him and his parents. It took a few years up to seven years and a lot of fights crying, disappointment and setting boundaries the first 2 years of marriage. Then he evolved.

Here's the thing. I now have a son and I secretly wish he will end up a momma's boy, since I fear sons generally become so distant and quiet and not much communication from teenage years onto adulthood onto when they have their own kids. I dont want to be excluded from my son's life. Sure, there should be healthy boundaries and I doubt I will get amommas boy forever.

I have to say, when I didn't have a child I kind of resented how frequently my MIL wanted to gather her kids for endless weekly meals and celebrate any holiday,  even the made up ones. Now that I am a mom and realize how precious these kids are and how involved and attached a mom gets in the course of normal parenting, I understand my MIL so much better. Now there's hardly any conflict.

You do have to set boundaries but hang in there.[/quote]
