Does anyone here agree with this saying "a son's a son til he takes a wife"?

My brother is a married to a woman with children from previous relationships. No one from my family was involved in the wedding and since they have been married they spend almost all of their time with his wife's family.My brother doesn't care much my family anymore. We do our best to include his wife and stepchildren but they always reject our offers.

I had heard the saying " a son's a son til he takes a wife" before but it hurts to hear people tell me that because it makes my family seem less important.It was my parents that raised and supported my brother. It was my parents that provided my brother with a vehicle when he went to college. They also helped him financially during college.

I think respect for a son's family shouldn't lessen when he marries. Please share your opinions on this. Asked by writer85 33 months ago Similar questions: agree son's son til takes wife Lifestyle > Relationships.

Sometimes it happens. I have never actually heard that saying put in that way before, but I can see where some people believe it. A man takes a wife, and a lot of times he has this built in need to affirm that he is a man, that he can take care of his family and sometimes that includes the idea of seperating themself from the old family.

Usually, from what I have seen, they come around eventually ans learn to respect their family. I know that I am married and I love my parents and appreciate all help they can give us. This provides (I believe) a healthier environment for my child, to know what family means and to always be there.As for your situation, all I can say is continue inviting him and his family and always be there for him and let him know that you love him and are there for him in case something happens.

This way he can never blame you for deserting him and he will come around at some point. As a last note, also sometimes the wife pulls the man away (or vice versa) and make him not spend as much time with his family, but tries to force them more and more into her family, sometimes because she is demanding on attention, and sometimes because she does not agree with a lifestyle choice or something stupid like that. Who know?!

1 It's the opposite with my husband's family. Everything that we do family-wise is with them. My parents have passed, but I still have sisters and one very good friend whose family is like my own.

We do very little with them because they aren't close by, but I'm sure he wouldn't want to even if they were closer. Also, my BIL calls his mom every day on his way home from work. I think what happens is that if there is a dominant person in the relationship, that's the person who makes the decisions about who they're both going to "hang out" with and be involved with.

Personally, I don't think it's right, but it is what happens. I should put in the disclaimer that not knowing your family or things that may have happened, it's not possible to know what his reasons are for not keeping in better contact.

Maybe women are closer to their mothers and could also be jealous of a husband's relationship with his own family. But I have noticed it.

It depends on the country. In Italy, sons are very loyal to their parents traditionally. In the states I think the old adage is true.

What are my rights if my wife leaves and takes my son.

Why do relationships always involve interferring inlaws and your husband takes his mothers side and agrees with her.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
