My husband has a good relationship with his mom, he is the youngest and the only boy so he is a bit spoiled, i have had many years to break some of his habits. I would not say i am jealous but I am tired of the medling, our life is always going great until the MIL steps in with an opinion, than everything goes to hell. My advice is spend time but don't get involved in his life, he is married now, let him form that relationship. Or would you prefer him to be alone when you are gone????

I believe my daughter inlaw has some issues about somethings.....I don't know what it is? Our holidays are difficult because she does not want to mix her children with the step grandchildren. We have always treated her well and are very good people. We cannot be ourselves because she makes it difficult for everyone to get along together. We have to do Christmas and holidays her way or no way at all. I was once told that I would care for our grandson for them to have a night out and she said only his real grandmother could babysit. My husband and I were married before she ever came along and I already was a grandmother to my own. I am very good to children and love them all and want so much for her kids to have special times with me and their biological grandpa. She home schools and we can not be free to be with them and the son inlaw lets her have her way. We visit with her around and on her terms only. I am very stressed when I have to go around her.

I am not a mother in law but, I can say I have in the past encouraged my husband to do things and call his mom as he did already for his father. I would send her flowers, cards, gifts for occasions that came up from both of us. I was told by my mother in law if he does not come from her son she does not want it. As she knew it was my doing since in the past he did not do these things. He wanted no part of her and her drama and now she gets nothing.
I don't know why you would feel she was jealous that he spends time with you rather then look for drama treat her
like a daughter and you won't have problems.

Ginny60, sounds such as you and the daughter in regulation could desire to have a good coronary heart to coronary heart. you may desire to open as much as her and ask if there is something incorrect and clarify the way you have been feeling. optimistically you're in basic terms imagining a number of those issues and he or she would be waiting to attempt to set issues straight away. till now discussing alongside with your son however i think of it may be plenty wiser and extra efficient in case you approached the daughter in regulation your self and introduced it to her interest. maximum suitable of luck.

I am a "daughter in law" and my husband doesn't spend ENOUGH time with his mother. So she finally stopped calling him to invite us to family events, now she calls me and I have to push him out the door! I wouldn't be jealous if he spent more time with her, I'd be elated!

Better question... do you want to make your son think that she is. This would allow you to start a fight between the two of them and make you come out on top.
BAD MOTHER-IN-LAW... BAD!!!
