I couldn't even begin to relate, for one, I am unmarried, and the relationships in my family as far as in-laws go have always been very close. It sounds to me (forgive me if I sound a little like a psychiatrist here, I think all these years of therapy are starting to get to me, LOL), that your husband is still in a way under your mothers control somehow...that when it comes to being an authority figure over your children, it should be your decision together, and even if she makes a suggestion; granted it can be taken into consideration, but if something else has been already decided, to politely but firmly tell her 'no'. Also, (and please forgive me, I don't mean to sound insulting) why must he have the last word? Shouldn't you come to these conclusions together as a couple? It seems like he's still trying to please his mother in some way by agreeing to her suggestions. (Then again, maybe he just wanted you all to himself for awhile on Halloween night for a movie together). Then again, I'm just 25, in a relationship with my first boyfriend. Ask me a medical question or give me a crossword puzzle, I may be able to give you a better answer. LOL. Until then...good luck. Or try peace-making attempts over coffee one day and ask her to recall what her mother-in-law was like...see if she gets any of the subtle hints. It's worth a try.  Take care. --Christine  |

From what i have been told her mother-in-law was just as bad as she is. I have tried being nice to her. I cant explain it but something about her just gets on my nerves. Probably has alot to do with teh control she has over her kids still.  |

Don't seem to have that problem, at least not yet. Have you tried saying anything to her or your husband without saying it in a way that sounds like you are trying to start a fight? Maybe your husband should say something, its his mother. Good luck to you.   |
