Babyfather’s mom doesn’t like me nor my child

Dear Pastor,

I am writing to you for some advice on the situation with my mother-in-law. I have been dating her son for about a year.

Both of us share a child. Ever since the child was born, his mother has been trying to block all benefits towards me and the child. I am really confused and upset about her behaviour. Sometimes I have the feeling like she wants to have sex with her son. The greatest part is, I am glad her son is not following his mother's ways by neglecting me and the baby. I love her son very much and I am hoping we can get married someday. But I can't keep up with his mother's behaviour. I really need your advice on my situation.

Dear A.W.,

You should learn to weigh your words. Let me put it to you that most men love their mothers, and even when they disagree with their mothers, they still listen to them.

Men do not tolerate women who make unkind and rude remarks about their mothers. And when mothers are overbearing, wise sons speak to them and let them know they are going too far.

How could you want to marry this man and at the same time be saying that it appears to you that his mother wants to have sex with him? You are very out of order. As I see it, those very remarks should disqualify you from becoming the wife of your child's father. You are too out of order. Some people would say that you need to wash your mouth out with disinfectant. If you do not like what this woman did, you should talk to your boyfriend privately, but you should not be disrespectful in your comments.
