Is it normal for wives to talk shit about their husbands with their own moms? Am I naive to think that our wives don’t talk shit about us?

Woman here. Don’t lose faith OP, I never talk shit about my husband to my mom or his mom. What’s between us is private and no one’s business. Plus, I wouldn’t appreciate if he did that with his mom. Mutual respect solves the issue here

I don’t do that with my mom, so it was a bit shocking to me...

What happened to protecting your spouse and being one team?

I guess it depends on the relationship with the mom. In any case I don’t think it’s really smart. In my case my mom would never be impartial and I want her to have a good relationship with my spouse, no need to poison that. If I need to talk shit, I have friends for that.

smart

Yes it is.

Yes normal

And when they talk about their husband to their husband’s mom

Venting occasionally is one thing, but don't talk shit like that about your spouse. You're asking for trouble in the long term.

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

GF is 32 and I’m 28. She wants kids within 2 years, understandably. I never envisioned having kids that early (more like late 30s), but I like her a lot. Anyone else gone through something similar?

My marriage is struggling and we have to pack up the kids and fake it till we make it with my in laws for most of their Christmas break. I don't want a divorce but things are not good, and it's hard to pretend they are even in front of the kids. Looking for advice I guess, or just a kind word. Really don't want the in-laws finding out and trying to put their two cents in, and neither does she.

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
