Mothers and Sons Question 🙏🏾
Hi all
I live with my mom and it's going to be 6 years since my dad as passed away. My mom and I are somehow doing whatever we need to do to make ends meet.
We share our meals, chores, responsibilities and have lots of conversations
One particular conversation really made me think. She was watching one of these Indian serials and majority of the story surrounds a mother in law and daughter in law relationship which is for most part of it very very bumpy.
As we were watching and I passed a comment, she responded to me by saying that when I get a wife, my mum will become second in my life and I must prioritize my wife.
I kind of understand what she actually meant but I was hurt in a way because we have been through hell and back in the last few years, I would find it very difficult to sideline my mom.
I didn't say anything but I would love to hear if anyone else shared anything similar or had some advice I could use
Much appreciated
