Which is super fun and awkward, since she lives on the other side of the duplex we're in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211278 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 09:59:13 +0000 autumnlove 211278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: weird for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211266 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 09:53:12 +0000 smith 211266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is very much the adult in their relationship! My MIL has major issues, and I suppose I should be glad DH is so sweet and accepting of his mom most of the time. However, some of the stress in their relationship is based on my being such a big part of his life, which has been hard for DH to handle and balance without offending either of us...sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211241 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 09:38:08 +0000 Alivoo01 211241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby is the youngest and is definitely momma's boy. However, he has no problem telling her no or setting her straight if need be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211162 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:36:14 +0000 anonysquire 211162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Yes on the lips! So weird right? All of his family does it to eachother. I have a weird thing about touching people and stuff so it really freaks me out. My family never kisses and we rarely hug. And I like it that way lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211156 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:26:04 +0000 MrsBrewer 211156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Yea, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211149 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:20:22 +0000 anonysquire 211149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Hahah! I keep hoping things will change when we have babies too. Here's to hoping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211147 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:19:02 +0000 MrsBrewer 211147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: On the lips? Weird.....I would be totally creeped out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211146 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:17:59 +0000 MrsBrewer 211146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they have a pretty good relationship, although he can never tell her the truth. She doesn't think he does anything wrong ever, doesn't think he drinks ever, goes out to bars. Nothing. She is pretty needy, and DH feels obligated to step in and help all the time. I mean I guess it's not a bad thing that he's always there for his mom, but sometimes it seems to be a little much. I should be the one he devotes all of his attention to :-/....Oh well...Maybe it will change once we have children... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211144 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:11:58 +0000 anonysquire 211144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too good.... annoyingly good. I am all about the family stuff but when your mom drinks all her money away and can't afford rent and her car payment there should be a point where you just say no. And coming from a close family but not physically close I always almost throw up in my mouth when she kisses him on the lips. I am sure I am the only one who feels like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211140 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 08:04:04 +0000 Rubies 211140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Relationship is good - he's good at handling MIL's crazy times. We see them almost weekly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211119 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 07:40:28 +0000 chopsuey 211119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has a great relationship with his mom. They talk once in a while and we see her maybe 4x a year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211117 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 07:29:15 +0000 prettylizy 211117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has what I'd say is a normal relationship with his mom, he's not a mamas boy. They talk maybe once a week, DHs parents invite us over a lot so we see them often. More often than not she drives him a little crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-211114 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 07:17:50 +0000 mrsjyw 211114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is an only child, but thankfully NOT a mama's boy! He is very close to her and checks in with her every couple weeks via phone and we try to get dinner with them every couple weeks as well, but he's been very good at handling the middle man situation for when she's been overbearing and crosses the line :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-210844 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:03:35 +0000 heffalump 210844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a total mama's boy. He talks to her at least once a day. At first I was weirded out by it because we were dating, I'd go to the doctor or something and then we'd have dinner with them that night and they'd ask me all about it and if I'm feeling ok.... I hadn't even had time to tell my own mom about it yet! But now I'm used to them knowing my whole life and don't mind as long as there are no weird boundaries crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-210784 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:39:52 +0000 lilteacherbee 210784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he has a good relationship with his mom. He used to be a huge Mama's Boy, but that kinda calmed down once we got married. We live 5 minutes from his parents, so he sees his mom a few times a week and usually talks to her almost everyday. She isn't overbearing at all, so it doesn't bother me. I think its sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-210767 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:21:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 210767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! His dad wasn't in the picture, so he is close to his mom. She isn't overbearing so it doesn't put a strain on mine and his relationship. He got a lot of good traits from her and they're really sentimental. They cried during the mother/son dance at our wedding. It was really cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-210759 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:06:53 +0000 mrs. bird 210759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL has the best intentions, but she drives us crazy! She calls DH everyday and will freak out if she is not in communication with him or his siblings- as in show up &amp; start banging on doors &amp; calling the police. She seems to have a lot of anxiety &amp; it rubs off on them. He's the oldest, so she puts a lot of pressure on him to parent his younger siblings who don't need parenting. She makes nasty comments about how how he &amp; his siblings are disappointments &amp; are unworthy of carrying on their name if they don't do what she says. I know she's a mama and truly believes she knows what would be best for her adult children, but she doesn't and it really puts a strain on her relationship with DH and his relationship with his siblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-210757 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:04:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 210757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH likes to joke that he'd totally be a mama's boy if his dad wasn't so awesome...which is completely true, they're both incredible people. </p> <p>I probably talk to both of them more than DH, but we spend a day or two a month down at their house, and we always leave only when it's getting late, not because we feel the need to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-your-sos-relationship-with-his-mom#post-210736 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 12:23:03 +0000 autumnlove 210736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a bit of a Momma's boy and rarely says no when she needs help. He is the youngest of 3 boys and they seem to have the closest connection. We see her 1-2 times a week and DH speaks to her a few times a week.</p> <p>Does your SO have a good relationship with his Mom? </p>
