mil nightmare

[wipeyuppie]

Does anyone else have a husband that is still terrifed of upsetting his mum and behaves as if our marriage is a total betrayal of his relationship with her? Please tell me some funny stories as the penny has only just dropped as to why the atmosphere at family gatherings has been so strained for years and he is always so difficult, and sulky when we are all together. hey ho,

Shouty hamster. I'm going to cut Yr post and keep it on my phone
You have articulated it brilliantly and as a mother of one boy one girl I hope I can do the right thing by them both My husband is pretty good involving his parents but in a small way my mum prob has the closer relationship with our kids. I do my best but it's still natural to call on my mum for quick favours and babysitting. Note to do better!!
