What if your spouse lives under the same roof as you and your mum? And they dont exactly see eye to eye? What would you do?

Spouse and mother-in-law living under the same roof is not a good idea, if it is your mother's home, I suggest you and your spouse find other living arrangements. If it is your home, your mother needs to find another place to live. Mother and spouse, two women under the same roof very seldom works. It is just how it is, nothing you can do to change human behavior.

Hummm move out....never works with two family's under the same roof... On the contrary, it can work under certain circumstances. When my late wife had to stop working because of her cancer, she, my baby son and I had to move in with my mother and step-father. After my step-father perished a year later, my wife was very supportive of my mother.

The situation he gave was with with two that did not get along and had no other reason to be living there.. Growing up we had many living with us from time to time we made the best of it but it normally always comes to a time that it is time for those that moved in to get on their own two feet... and move out..

The man needs to get his wife and him a place to live.

You specifically said, "never works with two family's under the same roof..." I gave evidence that the "never" in your statement was not accurate.

You specifically said, "never works with two family's under the same roof..." I gave evidence that the "never" in your statement was not accurate. Maybe bad choice of words but I still believe that when another family moves in with anther it should be only till the situation is taken care of and it is feasible for the ones that moved in to stand on their own two feet and move out... I have let my son and his first wife live with me but it comes a time that those moving in need to find their own place and move out... Your situation was different and if I had been faced with that type I would have seen it different. But when two people are living with someone and not trying to stand on their own it does not work in the end..

Some family cultures are Matriarchal. The wife should know better than to try usurping the Mother-in-Law's authority. She needs to step back and learn. One day, she may have the throne.

What if your spouse lives under the same roof as you and your mum? And they dont exactly see eye to eye? What would you do? would never happen, if we are old enough to be married, we dont need to live with mom unless its to help her out and if we are in the same house and cant get along, we move,,,

it could be hard for all of them in one roof. couples should have their own place..

You put the wife and mother in a cage and let them at it. This is how cage fighting originated.

Hardly two seperate situations either. Two families under the same roof... and harmony. Standing on our own rarely works either... "no man is an island."

Spouse = marriage. A marriage is between a man and a woman for the purpose of starting a family. No where in any vows or definition I've ever heard was in-laws mentioned. Friends, ex;s, parents, siblings, etc. are all great dinner guest not room mates.
