Can you get his mother on your side, or is she the one who "created the monster" in the first place? Just athought.

LOL! No ironing in a while, thank goodness.

My thought was that, since he spends every afternoon with her, she might be of some influence if she knew she might possibly lose a good daughter-in-law because of her son's selfishness.

But, reading some of your other posts, maybe not...

Look at it this way. If he still likes his mom enough to spend every afternoon with her, after getting ketchup sandwiches for dinner as a kid, it's probably safe for *you* to go a little easier on yourself.
