[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIl refers to my husband as "My Charlie" and refers to the place where she lives as 'home' as in 'Aren't you all coming home for Christmas?"

I think it does reflect a failure to acknowledge that he is an adult, that I am an adult, or that we have an adult relationship and a home.

But then again this is the woman who said that it was great that I was quitting my job so that I would have more time to spend taking care of the house -- strange, I thought it was so I could spend more time with my children.

You're  MIL is right that your DH is 'her Charlie'.  He was hers first and will always be hers.  You're reading too much into the 'home' thing.   My siblings and I haven't lived in the town we grew up in over 25 years.  Yet, when we're talking about visiting there, we always refer to it as 'home'.  It will always be our childhood home even though my mom is living in a different house.  When we're at my mom's, we refer to the town we currently live in as 'home'.  As in, when you going back 'home'.  Perhaps you lack mental and verbal flexibility.[/quote]
