Just Engaged! Is His Mom a Monster-In-Law




How would you choose to handle this situation?

You’re visiting with your future in laws.  Having a great time.  You go into the kitchen to help your “mom-to-be” and she turns to you, puts her hand on your arm, looks you straight in the eye and says:

“I am glad we have this minute alone as I have something weighing on my mind. You are a really sweet girl and I am very happy for you both. I am not sure you realize that my son is a free spirit.  He may not always put you first and he is going to do what he wants without cause and concern for your feelings.  I am worried because I see you sitting at home alone at night, while he is out with his friends.  I fear for you.  It can get very lonely and I am worried that you will end up being a noose around my son’s neck.”

Would you:
  1. Run out of the house and never look back
   2. Smack her in the face and cause a scene
   3. Tell your fiancé and hope that he stands up for you
   4. Would you have the courage to lean in and recognize that she was having a hard time giving up her son

Dear Reader,  I would truly like to hear what you would do if faced with this situation. Do you have a wonderful future mother-in-law or is she a “Monster-in-law”?  How do you deal with her?  How does your fiancé deal with her is an even better question?  Does she make you want to rethink your engagement?  Write in. Leave your comments.  I am curious to know how you are coping.
