How come as the daughter-in-law I get blamed for putting thoughts into my husbands head?

Does his mother not think he can think for himself? In his family problems I have kept totally silent…. I just listen to him as he sounds off. So he ended up in the hospital with heart problems. The Dr. told him it was stress and he need to learn how to let things out and not hold them in. So he goes and tells his mother how he feels about things happening in the family. And I get blamed for it……………….. ahhhhhhhhhhh mother-in-laws….. (thanks for letting me rant!!!)

In most mother’s eyes their son is never at fault. Tell her to watch some Dr.Phil. In many of his shows he tells the mother to butt out!!. Don’t listen to her.

Mothers seem to think that men cannot think for themselves or do things for themselves so everyhting they do must come from us. My mother in law was amazed when my husband put some washing out, she said i had trained him well, didnt occur to her that he did it by himself.

You are dealing with a classic case of “mother and son won’t cut the apron strings.” My sister-in-law has the same problem with my half-brother’s mom. She finally just told my brother that it’s either her or mom. She’s not putting up with it anymore, and the kids shouldn’t either. She loves him but she’s not competing for his affections anymore. That seemed to do the trick. They still have their issues, but he comes home to her when he’s supposed to instead of stopping off at mommy’s house.
