This forum just shows how wimpy men have become, letting women run their lives. If my mother had lived in our house and she and my wife couldn't get along, I would have given them a stern lecture about the expectations of God to show love and compassion to each other as God's people. I would then tell them any conflicts I will referee, and if they don't like it, one or both can pack their bags. In a Christian house, the man is the head of the house, and I'm not abdicating my position.

Hi, sweetie. Hi, Mom. I love you. Now I'm going to give you a stern lecture and you can then go and pack your bags and hit the road.
I don't think you will have any difficulty with being the "head of the empty house".
A decent woman would pick up and leave, and divorce him, getting her half of the community property. The mother, being a resident of the house, could sue for unlawful eviction. I'd love to see what, if anything, this schmuck would be left with to rule over.
So, not being a tyrannical jackass and treating women - including the one who spent the better part of two decades (or more) raising and nurturing your helpless, worthless ass - like children means you're a wimp? Right. Tell me how this works out for you in five years or so when both your marriage and your relationship with your mother collapse.
Yeah, I'm sure a son could lecture his female PARENT. Your mom is your parent and by extension, an authority figure. If you talk down to her like you're her dad, she'll laugh in your face!
Mom raised you, you didn't raise Mom. She's YOUR BOSS!
And your Mom & your wife should band together and ditch your sorry, inferior tail!

Not the basement he actually lives in.
Sharing a house when your wife and your mother don't get along is a tough position, I agree. But acting like an arrogant jackass isn't going to help, unless you want them to get along better by uniting against you.
I'd argue that your parents should have instilled a greater respect for women when you were a child. Maybe then you'd now be in a more suitable, and respected, position to give your female loved ones advice if they have been squabbling. Unfortunately, as it is, you have shown yourself to be nothing more than a sexist and authoritarian idiot.
Yeah, and augiedogie isn't a wimpy man name, at all!
If my husband spoke like that to me and his mother, he'd be given a Lysistrata treatment.
Was it love and compassion that God's chosen people showed to the Amalekites, and the other people they slaughtered on God's order?
Like they say in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the man is the head, but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head ANY way she likes.
"In a Christian house, the man is the head of the house"
Yeh, right.
Any man who tells you that he is the boss of his home is not to be trusted. If he will lie about his family life, he will lie about other things, too.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
