I look at women who have adult daughters and envy white envy. You're lucky. Daughters and help come, and grandchildren bring, and devote to their care. Who has daughters, his life is boiling. I have a son. Raised, put all my soul, and he married and now completely in a strange family.

Only around the mother-in-law and spins - it brings, then brings, then on the weekend will go to help. And every daughter-in-law in the family is perfect. I am an old woman who has no help or attention. I'm sorry I'm not helping my wife. How can I help you? I'm a regular pensioner.

Psychologists say that such situations are not uncommon. If the parents raised their son and put their whole soul into him, they try to build his life after marriage. They advise, criticize, demand.

The most common cause of conflicts between parents and children is the focus of each party on their own interests. No one wants to give up and put himself in the place of another. The mother does not want to understand that the son has a job, a pregnant wife, duties to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
