Family vs. Husband

Tweet

My husband and I have recently overcame a problem which greatly tried our relationship. We are happy. But not for long... I cannot seem to solve the conflict between my family and my husband. My mother is very sensitive and would be hurt by little things that she notices about my husband. Last night, when I come home from work, my mother is in our house since she supervises the nanny and looks after my daughter while I'm at work. She is irritated about my husband and saying hurtful things no matter how I explain to her that my husband has no bad intention towards her. To settle things, I asked my husband to come in the room where me and my mother are arguing and told them to settle their issues once and for all. I believed I became objective in dealing with their issues. What annoyed me the worst is when my mother asked my husband what is bothering him and when my husband told her that he is very particular with my familly's, including me, of walking around dripping water on the floor after we washed our hands, my mother said that she will not go to our house anymore since she cannot promise not to do that. We are there talking to solve their problems for God's sake! And she would not respect my husband's issues despite my husband promising her to try to avoid doing the things that she said annoy her. The rest of my family are siding with her. I feel trapped... I do not know anything else to do. Please help me. What should I do?
