For us its *VERY* important to have a "team/ united front" in situations where disagreement arises. Personally I dont see the benefit of not siding with your spouse-- obviously once you get home and are in a different setting where its just the two of you, you should definitely bring up any disagreement you may have and if need be then the TWO of you can go back and adjust what you originally said or acknowledge that you both were wrong and rethought the issue but I view a large part of my role as a wife is to be my husbands biggest support/cheerleader (many may disagree with this) but I will back him 100% regardless of how wrong I think he is. I think its a sticky situation to get in when you undermine a spouse in mixed family situations. Just my two cents.

This. Exactly.

I think once you get back to a private setting you can sort out the disagreement, but otherwise, united front. Period.
