Re: How to Balance between Mother and Wife?

@Theorist

So mothers don’t miss their daughters? I hate these stupid double standards. The guy’s parents live with him! They see him EVERYDAY! He gets to see his wife on weekends and the parents are still complaining? What about the wives who hardly ever get to see their parents? I don’t hear them complain. Oh they probably do but their complaints are irrational, right?

i think in this particular case, parents are not complaining about the son seeing his wife every weekend, they are more so concerned about his staying at in-laws for longer periods,as op mentioned that his mom and dad advised him earlier not to stay for longer at in-laws. So this means they have no problems with him seeing his wife but have problems at staying at
in-laws.
Another thing is, OP himself admitted that he feel tired with all the travelling, this perhaps is a very strong reason for his mom to feel concerned about his son’s tight schedule and lack of rest, that made her talk to her DIL about sending him back on Sunday. If you notice, she is not telling him not to go there at all, she is just telling to cut short the visit by few hours. And frankly speaking mothers and fathers do have this much right on their children even on the married children.
