Wife and her mother

Carl31

Dudes, how much time does your wife spend with her mum?

My wife sees her mum pretty much daily, its almost like shes the only person she sees. I wonder sometimes if im just here to provide a roof as she cant be at her mums 24/7

Or is this pretty normal?

Making a sweeping statement, in my experience, women seem to be lot closer to their Mother's than men do.

I see my Mum at least once a week, usually over the weekend and call around for tea once a week. Usually phone twice a week in addition.

My Husband sees his Mum about twice/three times a year and thy only ring when they want something. they haven't fell out or anything, it's just the way they are. His sister, however, is around there all the while like me with my Mum.

I am not male but I have seen my mother 6 times in the last year she has promised to bring easter eggs over about a month ago.

They must enjoy eachothers company, but I couldn't think of anything worse

Have u actually tried doing stuff with her..... meals, cinema, theme park, hiking, swimming what ever flotes her boat, she might just think your a bit dull :cool:

Not male either...don't you just feel like you shouldn't me here lozzy?

Just wanted to say I see my Mum every 1-2 weeks usally when the fam gets together for sunday dinner..I get moaned at if I don't go.

OH calls his mum near enough every day and goes round 2-3 times a week and I am always told I have to go as well which I don't mind to a point. ... I think my Mum gets jealous but its her own fault I don't feel welcome thier...another story.

Your OH does it? Interesting. Do you find that weird?

I probably see my parents once fortnight-ish. They live about a mile away

No. Are you spending time together as a couple or is she round her Mum's house every evening?

No its in the day mainly. What i find weird is she doesnt see her friends that much, or make any effort to

Dont get me wrong, i like my mother in law a great deal, im just not sure its that healthy to be that attached as an adult?

If it's during the day and doesn't impinge on your family life and your MIL doesn't interfere in what goes on in your house, it's not doing any harm, is it?

It's not the norm but some women are very attached to their mothers and are very good friends with them.

I see my mum a lot, we're close. Even if it's just taking her to the shops, or having a cuppa and quick chat when I get home from work while I pick my daughter up (she minds her for an hour or two after school for me so that I can work). But then I also see my aunts/uncles/cousins regularly too.

My sister doesn't come near unless she wants something or is dropping the kids off for my mum to babysit for her. She's married though, I'm not.

If I were then obviously I'd be spending a lot more time with my husband rather than my mum, but I'd still wanna see her.

Another lady gate crasher here lol

I see my mum almost daily, but only for short spells. My ex hubby on the other hand speaks to his mum about 1,000,000 times a day, goes twice for tea and used to stay over once a week . I wouldn't mind, but she lives 5 mins away in the car and lives with my oh's Dad so its not like she's lonely etc. We also have 4 kids together and are in our late 30's/early 40's - I think he was going for the peace and quite lol::T:T

She was actually over joyed when we split because she 'got her little boy bock'. I wonder why we split - it was deffo down to another woman, but not the usual kind of 'other woman' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I never really thought about it that much tbh.

I've never been close with my parents, I would actally say I am closer to my Dad as we are more alike but I only see him one a month if that as he is such a busy man to say the least..:p

I guess he is just quite a family guy which is one of the reasons why I love him so much so I never thought it was weird just who he is is. If he was visisting her daily and ringing her up every 2 seconds Id be annoyed/worried probally that its obsessive but I think he balances it quite well, calling her to update on things really and we go see her more now we have DS as she wants to see him as well.

Although I think they could manage going without me once in a while I rarely get out of it and if I do he only stays half an hour or so...isn't it more weird that he wants to spend every moment with me out of work? :rotfl:
