When does a men let's go of his mama?

if he's financialy able to give the old pain in the butt some cash why not but his main concern should be at home with you and the kid or kids, period, and if not someone need's to set him straight. also his mother should know better. i think when you turn 18 you should get out on your own, if your not going to school get out get a job or join the military and let them pay for school.

I don't think any 'man' can let go of their mommy. The marriage for a man should be their first priority and if this is a problem to you, you should really make it clear to him, one way or another, that it is bothering you. And after all that you can to make it clear to him and he still can't understand then, maybe you can talk to his ma or a shrink to help out. Good luck.

Money is such a bad thing in relationships... of all kinds. It seems very wrong to me that your parents are willing to give you enough money to get a house that will have a low mortgage (obviously to help get you off to a good financial start) and, instead of benefiting by this, your husband plans to give money to his parents. If they already borrow money from him all the time (do they even pay it back? are they "taking" rather than "borrowing"?) then they must not be good money managers. Or, they need more money coming into their household on a regular basis which might be something they need to explore in ways that don't involve your husband paying their way. It is not up to your husband to support his mother. If they got the house when he was younger, they should be able to maintain it themselves and not rely on him. I think it's good that families support each other during difficult or temporary crises... but there is absolutely no reason for your mother-in-law to count on regular financial contributions from her son for a home she has already owned for a long time. If you were financially independent, sure I could see you wanting to help family members and that would be the right thing to do... but if you are a young family yourselves, this should never be the expectation. You can try talking to her but I don't advise it. I think your husband should be the one to work it out with his mother directly. He needs to tell her that he has a wife and child now and his priority is to care for them. Maybe he can do some other things for his mother (like helping with odd jobs or chores that she finds difficult, every now and again) in place of giving her cash.
