[QUOTE="Fran, post: 187889, member: 3"] This is a hard place to be. You can't be the stereotypical m i l and get involved but you can help parent an adult child with words of wisdom. If she is receptive. She is pretty young and as we all know the road of solid marriage and child rearing is 95% hard work and 5% love. Daughter can't control her husband. She can tell him how she feels when an 18yr old is writing her husband and not accuse him. The fact that he was drunk at a work outing doesn't speak well of his behavior or future. She could ask him how he would feel if she had a guy writing her. It's sort of rude to the other spouse isn't it? Especialy for newlyweds who are still not on a strong foundation. On the other hand, he will be exposed to members of the opposite sex his whole working career and if daughter and husband don't put up some marital boundaries this topic will continue to pop up. Once daughter feels more confident of the strength of her marriage and choice, this won't be such a volatile topic. He sounds defensive and she sounds accusatory. Neither one are using good techniques for a healthy marriage. [/QUOTE]
