Mother or Wife? Pick One.

Re: Mother or Wife? Pick One.

Time to close the thread then? Because it seems to me you’re not interested in a discussion. Many people here say it depends on the situation, it’s not about choosing one person over another, etc. But you are the one pinpointing everyone who chooses a different lifestyle as “wrong.” Your question makes it seem like choosing to live apart from inlaws is all about evil DILs drawing their dutiful husbands away from their mothers. The logic in your question is flawed. Human relationships don’t work that way, and certainly marriage doesn’t – unless of course you choose to make every decision like it’s a competition. And then you’ll have to bear the consequences.

So how about it, shall I close this thread, as you suggested? Frankly, the premise is foollish.
