[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with some comments:

- Regarding what my mom has said that’s upset DW, some examples are that my mom said [b]“our wedding wasn’t important,” [/b]and she called DW [b]“my girlfriend” [/b](after we’d been married for over a year). These aren’t the only two examples, but two of the issues that come to mind. Generally speaking, my mom is pushy and kinda rude at times, and I know that rubs DW the wrong way.A few months ago, I had a come to Jesus talk with my mom about this stuff (at DWs request), and since then, things have been better, but DW specifically requested that they not stay over at our house on this trip, so I’m trying not to rock the boat.

[b]-  DWs parents live 20 minutes away, so they wouldn’t ever stay over. FWIW, we haven’t had any overnight guests in the 8 months that we’ve lived in our house.[/b]

In other words you want to punish your parents for the fact that they don't live  20 minutes away and for the fact that you had not have overnight guests for the last 8 months????

Also, what your mother did is relatively small potatoes, it might indicate that your mom does not like your wife, or that she just is a little angry or can not let go something.. but this is not the reason to turn the cavalcade on her!
You have a long life to learn more about the relationship diplomacy and this is a good start. Mom is an older person, you both need to chill a little and grow a forgiving bone not to sharpen the knives!

I don’t blame DW for not wanting someone rude and actively dismissive of her existence staying in her home.  Mom needs to shape up before she ruins a young marriage.[/quote]
