Is it true that most men have a better relationship with their mom than with their dad? I for one know my mom couldn't wish for a better son to have like me......ahem :-)

And what do women think about guys who are close with their mom? Does the horrific cliché of the mother-in-law still stand?

Spit it out folks!

My husband has a great relationship with his mom, and they're really good friends. Hehe, the lady is sweet as heck, gullible beyond belief, good-natured, and loves practical jokes. In other words, an easy target who doesn't mind a laugh at her own expense - and her son takes full advantage of that.

Fortunately, I have been blessed with an Awesome MIL. She doesn't butt in, but is there when needed, and always has both ears open when you need to talk (as well has her mind and her heart). Wonderful lady. And my husband says he's really lucky to have the MIL that he has.

Please don't ask about fathers.

my MIL is the same as anikka's but not literally... but i am sorry that my hubby can't say the same about his MIL.

Dominic its nice that you want to participate in the boards, and happy birthday.

But you're pretty much just sticking random thoughts on threads that have a purpose, both here and in Sleuth Talk.

Take Dominic Cope for instance, he's been trying to hijack severl threads and I bet his mom would say as long as your not hurting anyone and having fun, it's o.k. Another couple of years of this and she will have ruined him.

What woman would want to be in a relationship with a man who always has to get his way? And deal with the woman who made it all possible. Not I.

Send him back to his mom, she destroyed him.

Oh and by the way Happy birthday.

I dunno Farm, I always thought "hijacking" implied going somewhere new...Dom's more sort of doing "speed-dating for one"...just awkward. You pause, stare and continue.

The Momma's boy thing is one thing, but the Daddy's girl thing just makes me shudder. Might as well give your daughter a stripper pole and a full frontal lobotomy for her sweet 16th.

:) I'm not no "momma's boy" and I'm not my daddy's girl. I'm me, glad to change any booy who comes my way.

I don't know Crunch. I am, or was before I got married, a Daddy's girl. And I haven't seen a stripper pole. I think I got gypped. As did my husband.

I totally agree Mama. I am my Dad's "princess" and the stripper pole was purchased with my own money, thank you very much....

Ok, thats a lie, it was a generous donation from some of my sleuth friends ;)

I tried to be daddy's chosen one but my sister beat me out. I wasn't mom's chosen one either. But my aunt adores me. Maybe I'm really her daughter and my mom and dad are my true aunt and uncles. That would explain a lot.

Information new strip pole owners should know - never wax or polish it. Never. Never.

well i guess you'd say i was more of a daddy's girl.... but truth is... i'm more of a girl who was in need of TLC from both parents... ok enough said about me...
