Major vent- no sympathy needed, but have to get this off my chest
We are making our first trip up to Pittsburgh to see her since our daughter was born - over 3 years ago!
She won't come down here and we didn't want to drive 6-7 hours with a baby in the car...
She has changed a lot since Abby was born, but she WANTS my husband to be a mama's boy - and he's not! Thankfully!
I think it is so hard for mothers to raise boys. There's this new TV show that is starting soon where moms choose their son's girlfriends...bad idea!!! I see so many men day in and day out who are grown and either live with their moms or constantly take their moms' sides in arguments against their wives...yuk!

ETA: One of the most hyopcritical things about these women is that many of them profess to be Christians, yet conveniently forget what the Bible says about putting one's spouse first and cleaving from their own mother and father. They expect their own spouses to put them first, but when it comes to other people doing the same, they throw a fit and claim that their child is "selfish" by choosing their own spouse over their parent.

Here's some other Biblical sense for those who seem to forget what God says about marriages and these very verses they probably spoke themselves or had spoken on their wedding day:
Mark 10:9: "Have you not read," he said, "that he who made them in the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
1 Corinthians 13: the famous "Love is patient" verse where it says "love does not insist on its own way" . This is very applicable to the love of parents and their children.
2 Corinthians 2:14: Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Proverbs 9:14: House and wealth are a heritage from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.
I like Proverbs 9:14 myself :) Again, notice it does NOT say "a mother with good sense is a gift from the Lord."
