Mom vs. Wife: The Epic Saga

Here’s a sticky situation that many of you may deal with…

Mom vs. Wife is the epic saga that has plagued many families and put the husband-sons in the most ultimate “damned if you do” situations. I really feel for the guys, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that I think the wife comes in at a grave disadvantage. Not only does the wife have to compete with the mother-in-law for the husband-son’s love and time, but she has to do so with kindness and understanding. I mean really, sons and mothers…forget about it. That is a bond that when it is strong, is virtually unbreakable.

So, the power struggle begins. The quest for ultimate supremacy is on. Who takes top spot on husband-son’s priority list. Basically, who’s number 1? On one hand, you have the woman who actually gave life to your husband, clothed, and fed him for years. On the other hand, you have the woman he has picked to be his lifemate and bear his children. It’s not so simple.

Hmmm…Don’t think I have the answer, because I don’t. I know some people will have very strong views about this topic based on what they’ve gone through individually.

So, grab a cup of coffee and the ear of a good girlfriend and talk amongst yourselves. If anyone has any answers, drop me a line.

Until next time…Peace.
