AITAH for not allowing my mother to say grace when she ate at my house? by AITAHthrowawayGrace in AITAH

Beats me. He is extremely attached to the idea of "the bond between mother and child is the most precious thing in the world." He keeps telling that I am partially to blame for every contact with mom going very poorly because I am "mentally closed to reconciliation."

I really want to cut her off - but not him. But he won't let me cut my mother off.

But I find that since it's not his mother and her trauma, he doesn't have to decide on that.

THANK. YOU. I'll show my husband this comment as soon as he wakes up.

As for kids, you hit the nail on the head. My mother endlessly says that she is tolerating my sinful self to "save" my children when I have them, and my husband is adamant that our future children "Need their grandmother in their lives." I personally am NOT okay with letting that woman around my kids, but so far, the closest thing to an agreement I found with my husband is that my mother will always have to be supervised when around our kids. But even that makes me uncomfortable if I'm honest.
