re: Does your mom and your wife get along?

My wife would disparage my parents during Covid because they did not want to keep our children. Both of my parents are 70+ and my mom has COPD/asthma. Then once things returned to normal she didn’t want our kids to spend time alone with my parents.
All while her dad never called or visited our children, would not send birthday/christmas presents.
Anyway, I never stopped defending my parents or being fair, and my wife has either been coming around or realizing I’m not going to back down.

I would need my own thread to accurately describe mine and my wife's parent dynamics.
It's a shite show.

Let me give you one story that explains just a little about who my mom is.
She and my dad wanted to take our 2 youngest boys to Disney one year during school. My wife said sure no problem, can we just send them with their Chromebooks so they can keep up with their work while they're gone. Teachers/school had says they would all be unexcused days if work wasn't done.(5th and 6th grade at the time) Mom says sure no problem. We talk to the boys nightly while they're gone, how's it going, how was your day, make sure you're doing your school stuff too, etc. Throughout the week we get a couple emails from teachers, hey your son isn't turning in any work. We check with my parents, yeah they're doing it, we'll make sure they're getting it turned in. The night before they're to come back Mom says hey we got a package, can you take it in. Sure no problem. While I'm there I do a quick run through the house make sure all is good when what do I find in my parents room on my mom's desk? Both of my kids Chromebooks. She flat out lied about our kids, lied about her intentions, lied about it all and had told the kids to make sure they lied to us about it if we asked. Her reason, we didn't want to mess with it.
This is just one story. my mom is a piece of work. My wife is the complete opposite of everything my mom believes in, everything she stands for, everything. It's why I fell in love with her and why I'll choose her side every single day of every single week in every single month of every single year when it comes to a situation involving my mom without question.

My mom is a crazy lady so I try to shield my wife from her for both of our sakes.

In her defense she lives in NOLA and we live in BR. We asked her to come up and spend the night and watch for two days

They get along great, but I made an extra effort to establish that relationship

Tell your mom JD Vance says suck it up b/c his childcare plan says she has to babysit.

This is dumb, are we talking for a night? Or a regular basis?
A night I can see a little animosity being valid...
On a regular basis.. That's some entitled bullshite you need to get a handle on... That ain't Grandma's job usless she really wants it...

I don't need my parents help. My wife needs a extra hand while I'm at work

When you say mom do you mean wife? That kid isn't the grandmother's responsibility.

What kind of Mom doesn't want to pitch in and help out with a newborn grandbaby?
Man, I know why they have so many soft arse people. Yall have parents who will do everything for yall. My mom's philosophy has always been, if you do it you take responsibility for it. In other words, don't expect her to do anything. That doesn't mean she will not, but if you expect her to.. You will get your feelings hurt real fast. She is in her mid 70s now, but growing up, she would tell us (and my brother and sister are Irish twins and they are 11 & 11.5 years older than me) "If you ever get arrested don't expect me to come get you out right away.
One time my brother got arrested for some stupid shite. He and some of his friends were riding horses in town, went through the drive thru at McDonalds on the horses. Police was going to arrest them (there was more to it, they did something to piss the cop off) so they took off on their horses. They got them, had their horses hauled off, took them to jail. They called the house, my mom tells him she will come get him out when she has time. It happened on a Friday evening, she went get him out Sunday afternoon.
That's how you teach people responsibility and independence. Figure it out for yourself.

My Mom and my wife were best buds. They would even take trips to Las Vegas and leave me home to work and my Dad stayed with me while they were gone. When my Mom passed it hit her just as hard as it did me.

Needs an extra hand????? Good fricking grief, it’s a newborn. They eat, sleep, and shite…… that’s it. Your wife is entitled and weak. She needs to learn to deal with it or find her own solutions. No one promised y’all raising kids would be easy. If she is complaining about needing an extra hand with a newborn, wait till you have toddlers running around the house.

Maybe, maybe not. But, it sure isn’t the government’s responsibility to take care of your kids.
Wake the frick up!

By turning your back on your children and grandchildren when in need?
Posted on 9/11/24 at 7:06 am to TigerGman
Its not turning your back. Its figuring shite out yourself and learning how to do for yourself.
Posted on 9/11/24 at 7:14 am to GeauxZone90
Yes they get along. And usually disagree with much of what I do

Jeezuz H Christ. Coming to help with a new born grandchild for 2 days is such a major ask? What's grandma got better to do than be loving on her grand baby, watch Oprah?

My mom and my wife aren't the best of friends but when I was deployed she had to get along because we had a 2 month old.
Posted on 9/11/24 at 7:40 am to TigerGman
My mom likes to do shite, she is always on the go and got something going on. That's also part of the reason. She does shite. If you had plans would you enjoy if someone expected you to watch their kids?
