Life isn’t a competition.
Parents are important.
The wife is equally important.
Some parents really need to learn to let go a little when their kids get married! Why marry them off if you’re going to meddle in their life and make them miserable?
I personally think the problem usually lies with the man - he should learn how to juggle his role as son and husband so that everybody in his life is happy. Men who can’t stand up to their mummy and daddy are just as bad as men who can’t stand up to their wife.
Everybody can be happy, it just takes effort from all involved!
