But my son works all the time and she takes my grandbaby to her mom's (the other grandma) to visit
I do see him a good bit also though.
So far, they stay HERE when they come home (fiance eventually moved to Houston) ... her parents don't have enough space if the grandmother is there and they SO likely won't have space when grandbabies come!!
Wrong of me I know ... but I've made it clear our home is ALWAYS open for them.

He had been married before and she had recently broken off another engagement which raised a small eyebrow. I am so glad I kept my concerns to myself (outside of a small talk with her alone) and was accepting. He is a fabulous person and they are so happy together.
Even if they weren’t 100% sure they treated them wonderfully

My mom has treated every girl me and my brothers brought home like a princess. Probably in part because she had no daughters of her own. I’m very fortunate. I’ve just read horror stories from women who stuck around with men who refused to stand up to their mothers with this weird Jocasta complex.

that’s prob nothing against you. Girls are just closer to their moms.
It is 100% not and I know that because I did the same thing as a stay at home mom with a husband that worked a lot.

My daughter works at a boutique in a college town ... a mom came in and was asking for help in choosing a gift for her sons girlfriend who he was bringing home for Christmas.
My daughter said it was quite sad as it was made CLEAR to all in the store that she (the mom) didn't like said girlfriend .. not sure she gave reasons BUT she then proceeded to spend a chunk of change on a gift.
I reallllllllllllllllllly liked my daughter's exboyfriend .. still do and not sure why they broke up. She's casually seeing someone else and I'm doing my darndest to not compare, not comment and be nice and polite etc.
It's not easy BUT it's the right thing to do!

Basically it’s just the girls in my family that don’t really like her. The dudes like her just fine and treat her nice.
Ask them why. Women can have a sixth sense when they smell a cheating whore.

Before my daughter broke it off with her ex, she asked me what I thought about him. I flat out told her he was just what she told me she wanted ... someone as good as her daddy. My heart still aches over this breakup.
It's hard to not get attached.

I was talking to a guy who pumps fuel in our job site fuel tanks.
He looks like a Viking, so I said, hey you look like a Viking. He said yeah, I used to be a bouncer on bourbon and got that a ton.
Well, half way through the congo he talked about bringing his bf over for Christmas to meet his parents. I thought to myself, oh bf, so that side of bourbon. Then he said he only previously brought 1 person over for Christmas and it was his exgf.
So I then, whew, he at less loves tits.

That is tough. My youngest brother has a GF that the whole family loves and we have to stop ourselves from putting too much pressure on the relationship because of how well she fits in.
Thankfully for all the other daughters-in-law, my older brother’s ex set the lowest possible bar.
Maybe the easy out for the OP if he can’t nut up is to bring home a total skank one year so everyone else smells like roses in comparison.

I could never marry some icky girl that mommy doesn't like.

She's a really good judge of people and I don't think it's that he wasn't good to her, and a good person as he definitely was both BUT if it's just not right, it's not right. I was honest with her when she asked me about him and what I thought but made it clear that it wasn't me to decide what was good or right for her.
NEXT issue for me is to NOT compare old bf to next bf.
But damn it's hard!

Brought my SO home for Christmas and part of my family doesn’t like her. But she really likes them and is kinda blind to it. Breaks my heart that momma don’t approve but what do you do?
I’ve been in a similar situation. Met a girl when I was in the service, brought her home to meet the family, and while she loved everyone she met, I had family members that didn’t approve, and never would. It was a big factor in me ending it. The truth of it is that you don’t just marry a spouse, you marry INTO the family as well. If they’re not on board, good chance it doesn’t last.
