To answer a few questions.I have asked my husband flat out why he doesn't like my mother and he has told me that she is overbearing (she will give advice about how we might better manage our son's behavior when she visits) and that the parts of me that annoy him are the parts that are like her (he has said that she is manipulative-even said she makes up stories to try to get closer to him). I cannot tell my mom that my husband doesn't like her?! What do I do to ease the tension and attempt to make everyone happy? Do I suggest that my mom and husband talk? Ugh!!!Īny thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!Īdditional information.the responses are wonderful-truly! Thank you all, and I will post a "so what happened" soon. My mom is single and is envious of the time we spend with hubby's family. On a side note, my husband has never been to visit my mom with me and our son, and we spend a lot of time with his family. He doesn't like having his space invaded at all and will feel uncomfortable, and she will recognize it and want to talk about it with me. She is planning to camp while she's here (as she has 3 foster kids that will be with her too), so she won't be staying here.but I am anticipating similar visits where I am in the middle, trying to maintain conversation and cut the tension when we are all together. Then, I will have to convince my mom that hubby is just like that.He is an introvert, but I think he needs to step up and welcome her for the few days she'll be visiting.
My mom wants to come visit for Thanksgiving, and when I brought this up to my husband, he blew it off by saying, "Aren't you going to visit her soon and celebrate Thanksgiving then?" I want to have my mom visit, but my husband will be distant and quiet and act like he is not enjoying our time. I have done my best to placate both of them, but I am stuck in the middle. So here goes.my husband does not really like my mom, and it is obvious.
