Mothers of boys, tell us the truth.

Are you going to feel like some chick came and stole your son from you when he gets married?

FrickandFrack · November 2009

Probably!

easyBreezie · November 2009

I'll have to see how the girl is. If she's some biotch then yes but if she's nice and we get along, then no. Wink

Lopo · November 2009

Maybe... Big Smile

Smellygirl · November 2009

Only if she's nasty.

Honestly, I really hope I'm not like that. And I really hope he has good taste in women.

MrsWanee · November 2009

my MIL felt like that when DH and I got married and had HUGE issues letting him go (he's the oldest of 3 boys). so after her making my life miserable, i vowed not to do the same.

sammiekc · November 2009

Probably so. I'm not going to let him out of the house. I want to keep him forever. Smile

bellaciao · November 2009

Without a doubt. Smile

Seatownbride2B · November 2009

probably!

ljlkm · November 2009

Yes! Although I will try to look at it as gaining a daughter.

heatherlane · November 2009

It's way too early to be thinking about that!

I'm trying to enjoy every moment as it comes b/c I'm realizing how fast it really goes by. It's hard. I can't believe in a few years he won't want me to hold him anymore.

saj&jaj · November 2009

LoL, it will depend on the girl Stick out tongue I dated a guy whose mom hated me; she was a complete b!tch to me and definitely felt I "stole" him from her. Any time we were at his parents house, she would sit on his lap and other creepy stuff. I will definitely not be that way. I will treat any girl DS brings with respect and courtesy, even if I don't like her.

katypresson · November 2009

I sure hope not. My MIL and I have a great relationship b/c we're so much alike. I really hope DS's wife is alot like me and we get along great as well!

kellyperk85 · November 2009

Well, I will never let some dirty chick walk up in my house and try and take my son away. If she's raised right and has good manners and dresses appropriately then she's good in my book.

jess478 · November 2009

I'm going to be that awesome MIL that my DIL will obey... I mean love! just kidding!

I hope that I won't feel that way. My goal is to raise a son who will be independent and can take care of himself. If I'm not babying him until the day he gets married I would hope it'll be easier to let go. My son will learn how to cook and do his own laundry in addition to everything else.

I think my BIL will forever have mommy taking care of him and I feel bad for his future wife. Whoever she is she will never be what Step-MIL wants for her son.

aniceucchik · November 2009

i dont think so...i just hope he is happy and finds a good woman one day

haha, this is how I feel too

Realistically, I hope he finds a nice, smart, down to earth girl (you know, someone just like me...so we can get along well...haha.)

jk09uhed89 · November 2009

i really hope not since i have to deal with a super overbearing MIL but i probably will

theduck808 · November 2009

oh god, i think i might be that overprotective mom. DH will keep me in line, i hope!

Adam'sGirl · November 2009

Yes. Hopefully I like her!

margeincharge2 · November 2009

Ha ha, I hope not! I've had really good luck in the MIL department. She is a good model for how I hope to be with DS. However, I'm going to hope he has some high standards for women. If he marries anyone like my brother married, I'm screwed!

BitterOldHag · November 2009

Nope. Because Jbl126's girls will be my DILs. I already decided.

TimsMayBride · November 2009

Yes. I totally get now how grown men wind up living in their moms' basements.

rebus82 · November 2009

I guess it will completely depend on the chick.

RedQueen82 · November 2009

This.

I really hope not for the same reason above. We're not married yet but I had to fight for almost 3 years just so we could keep our finances to ourselves & so she wouldn't constantly ask if we can afford things. Although, truth be told, I don't want any women to take my son away - ever!

robynlesley · November 2009

You know the saying, right?

A daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life.

A son is a son until he takes a wife.

I just hope my son is like my DH, who is a fantastic son to his parents. And I hope I have the same relationship with a future DIL that my MIL has with me. Of course that's assuming my DS gets married before I did... If he marries at 38, I'll be 77 at his wedding.

Ha! DH was living in his mom's basement when we met, and I get it now. Seriously, I get teary thinking about it already. I don't want to lose my baby Crying

GRISMINO · November 2009

I sure will!!! I'm going to be a bitchy MIL Angry

BengalBelle · November 2009

It depends - if she makes an effort to play nice and share him like I do (and was under appreciated for until BIL's fiancee came along), I'll probably be fine. But if she insists that everything be done with her family and I only see him as I'm walking to vote and he drives by waving (as recently happened with BIL and MIL), then she's toast.
