You must be drunk too - I thought that article was horrible. I don’t think there is anything wrong with a man who loves his Mother and is willing to show it. I got the impression the Mother and son were not close at all.
in the abstract i think it's great when a man loves his mother, and i would think less of any man who doesn't, but there is no getting around the dynamic of a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. my MIL was fine, may she rest in peace, but that was mostly because we lived 8 hours drive from xshub's family, and 5 hours drive from my family. of course i want xsboy to end up with a wonderful wife, but i imagine there will be that same dynamic, husband's family v. wife's family, and am not looking forward to it. and i can tell you from now his wife will have the b!tchiest sistersinlaw going....
