Most Married Women Still Go To Mom For Answers

I am not going to include names or specific situations in this story to protect the innocent...my wife and I don't always see eye to eye. I know - a married couple with differences in opinion :) There have been multiple times in our marriage where I have had a tidbit of information and shared it with my wife (who will remain nameless), anything from the weather forecast for her hometown in Wichita, to how to deal with a bug problem. When I share the info, I know I am right - but my wife will argue her side that I am wrong, even if I show her proof...until she calls her mom to ask. Once she talk to her mom who will tell her the exact thing I did - only then will she believe it! Is this normal for couples? We never battle about anything, and this actually has only happened 3 times that I recall... but it is always stupid little things that she has to get approval from her mom on. Turns out this is pretty normal.

This survey just proves what we all already knew, deep down: You'll NEVER gain full independence from your mother. In the survey, 75% of adult women admitted they STILL run all major life decisions by their mothers for approval. And the average woman gets advice from her mom at least twice a week.
