or has sisters! I can picture your heads moving up and down in agreement on this one unless you are a lady who only has sons. While I have occasionally, and I do mean occasionally, found this NOT to be true, it is a rare instance indeed.
Look at it this way, as a Mom to only sons, you are the QUEEN! Your sons revere you. You are their source for all things female. And then one day… Oooppsss… your young sweet devoted son sees a lovely young damsel in distress and feels the need to save the princess. The damsel quickly moves up to QUEEN status, and you become plain “OLD” Cinderella. Your son starts to get surly and moody and your wish isn’t exactly his command anymore. The more he gets involved with his young thang, the more jealous you get. Yes…those are strong words, but JEALOUSY is what it all boils down to. As the relationship continues, IF Mom allows it, it only get worse.
Fast forward to engagements and marriage. The Cinderella Mom is now the saboteur. The lovely damsel cannot do anything right, although she tries just about anything to get her mother-in-law to acknowledge and approve of her. The sad fact is that she could stand on her head and spit dollar bills, and her new mother-in-law would not be impressed. She will demand your presence at all holiday meals, no matter that you have a family too. She will demand his presence at the drop of a hat, particularly if Dad isn’t around since she is absolutely unable to do anything by herself…yeah..right!
My advice to the young women facing this dilemma: Run before you marry him. It will NEVER change. It will always be a tug of war between Mom and you. Is that what you want the rest of your life?
