Queen Mother-in-Law & Princess Daughter-in-Law


Recently, you were speaking to a young lady who was having difficulties with her mother-in-law regarding her wedding.  As you discussed with her that she as the daughter-in-law was the princess and the mother-in-law was the queen, and the semantics of that situation, I began to cry driving during Cincinnati rush hour - on the interstate. ARRGGG! HOWEVER, I am the queen, and am having a very hard time allowing my sons' princesses to become their queens. You are so right about raising sons and being their everything, then they find a woman who loves them and poof, you feel like nothing. 

You explained how I as the queen need to allow the princess to take over some of what has been my job for 25 & 21 years for my sons. That's pretty damn hard to let loose of those chores/responsibilities/things I love to do for my boys. We queens need to trust that our sons are choosing wisely their future queens, and we queens need to learn to know, if we have done our job properly, those princesses will become beautiful queens. I promise I will try and learn quickly - and after my oldest son stated the reason he loves his princess is "because she is a take-no-s^&t woman, just like you, Mom".  Where oh where did my little boys go?
