some moms are always going to be like that and unfortunatly you opinion of it is going to have no effect on her what-so-ever. try having your husband speak to her about it, let her know that he does love her but finds that she’s too clingy and that he in fact is not a little boy anymore and would appreciate it if she treated him like the man he has become and to give him some space.

Your mother in law will never stop treating him like a baby. Believe me I have one just like her. You should try to talk to your husband and tell him that even though he might think that it is cute to still be treated like a baby he isn’t one. He is a grown man with a wife and he needs to be treated like one. He should tell his mom that he is an adult and needs to be treated like one. She may get mad but in the end she needs to be told. After all she didn’t want to have a baby for the rest of her life.

It is your husbands place to speak to his mother, not yours. If your husband gets fed up with it, then he will say something to her. Otherwise just leave it alone, I would however let him know that he appears to others that he is a mama’s boy, and looks really silly.

but you don’t want to come between mother and son, of you do, both will end up resenting you, and then you will be not better than his mother either, by getting him to do what you tell him to. who wants a P*S*Y for a husband.

I can’t stand clingy women who hold onto their adult sons and treat them like their still in knee pants & diapers…arrrrgh…I have a son, soon to be 23 and I would NEVER embarrass him or annoy his girl that way….he’s a grown up for Pete’s Sake.

Now if she was teasing like my late MIL (who had passed before I met my husband) that’s one thing…the lady would introduce my husband as ‘her baby’….mind you her ‘baby’ is 5 foot 10, well over 300 lbs at the time with a full bushy dark beard & moustashe…..she did it even when the beard turned silver and his hair started thinning on top….he would laugh and say ‘baby, yeh, riiiiiight”…but that was all she ever did. They lived in dif states and she never called on a daily basis..he visited for mother’s day, her b.d., thanxgiving & x-mas, job permitting.

He needs to tell her he’s NOT a little boy..he’s a grown married man and she’s embarrasing him…..time to relate to him as an adult, NOT a child…but he has to be the one to do it, Toots-it will have no impact if you do…
..and it will stop when the next fledgling flies the coop…after all her kiddies are out she’ll have to stop it, as to keep it up with all of them will exhaust her..until then, don’t pick up the phone every time she calls and consider moving out of state…500 miles works lol…maybe a hefty phone bill will stop it-long distance calls can be expensive…good luck.

How long will it go on? My MIL has been married for 35 years and HER MIL still treats her like crap for taking her baby away from her.

You need to let him know how much this bothers you, if you haven’t already. But ultimately, he is the one who needs to let her know that she needs to put an end to it. If she is anything like my MIL she will totally disregard anything you have to say about how she treats her son. But it’s better to take care of the problem now than to wait til later. It only gets worse after you have children. My husband & I are also young (I’m 23 and he’s 24). My MIL is a control freak and thinks she knows EVERYTHING!! We have a 8 week old son and she made some very rude and disrespectful comments to me while I was recovering in the hospital. I was already stressed out because my son was in ICU without her help. She even tries telling us what to do with our son just because we are first time parents. We didn’t even get to tell anyone that the baby was born because she had done it for us (Our mistake for letting her know first). She also thinks that she should be the first to do anything with our son (i.e. babysitting, buying gifts, visiting, holding him) as if she’s the only grandparent. I HAVE PARENTS TOO!! And it’s their first time to be grandparents. My MIL has two other grandchildren. So see, it only gets worse. I would advise that the problem is taken care of now. You don’t want to end up in a situation where the whole family is uptight around each other because of all the conflict. Let them both know that him being married and on his own is a very good reason he should be treated like an ADULT! I hope I helped and I wish you the best of luck. Let us know how it turns out.
