I’m conflicted. I would ask him if he was willing to every second night? I’m extremely close with my mum so I’d probably do the same if I could 
but not every single night

I’d tell him that it’s ok but not every night. Maybe once or twice a week. He has a wife and kids that also want to see him and he needs to spend more time with you guys.

Pop up with kids. It is his mom and your would probably be hella upset if shoe was on the other foot and he was to say something about you stopping by your moms house.

My dad did this every night he was home. He drove a truck for a living. Doing that among many other things is what led to my parents divorce.
Your situation may not be like that though. Im just telling you from my personal experience.

As long as you are sure he’s going to his moms I’d just talk to him and y’all come up with something that works for the both of you.
Ex:maybe one of his off days y’all have dinner with her as a family and one night a week he can stop in and have dinner with her after work.
Explain to him you understand he loves her and wants that time with her but his family he made loves him and wants time with him also!

My mother takes care of her mother-in-law, daily. And for everything. She keeps that woman going. Her own mother died almost 10 years ago. I myself help take care of my mother-in-law. I am also a stay at home mom and my hubby works…A LOT. I encourage him to see his mom more. My mother is my best friend so I myself see this as a wonderful thing he does. Take the kids over there, all of you go out, have her come over. There are options. A mother’s love is deep and forever, no matter what age or time in life.

I hang out with my mom everyday and if my husband said I couldn’t I would punch him in the dick and tell him to fuck off but he knows how much my mom means to me and he would never put me in a position to choose between him and her I bring my kids up and spend alone time with her my husband is very close with my mom too maybe you should try having a relationship instead of sitting at home meet him there when he gets off work I’m sure his mom would love to see her grandkids
I’d think he is a good son. Why don’t you meet him over there and join him???have dinner-spend time with 3x generations (while precious time is left).

It’s cool a couple of times a week but every day? That’s excessive. He married you because he wanted to be bonded to you. That’s always going to be his mom but I mean he said his vows to you for a reason

3 nights with her, 3 nights with family and her, and 1 date night just you two where she watches kids. It is not fair to your family they don’t get to have dinner with him, and you can’t exactly go see your parents if his mom always comes first. She will pass on one day, but unless he invests time into your family too what will he have afterwards?

Sorry I understand someday mother may pass but he’s loosing time with the family he created. He had enough time with her growing up. Not saying he should stop completely, but he does have a family of his own. He should at least have y’all go over every night instead of eating alone.

What’s it matter if he helps as soon as he gets home. Meaning that’s his hour or 2 of alone time after work and when he gets home and helps you do what you need to do to wind down whether be you time or spending time with him. An hour or 2 is nothing as long as he’s still helping and available when home

Coming from someone that has lost her mother. Good for him! I regret and wish so much that i had spent more time with my momma while she was still here… I dont see what the big deal is?

All y’all saying you hope your sons treat you like this? Y’all will be contributing to their future divorces if you encourage/enable this kind of behavior to this extent.
Teach them to be good partners, to think about how their spouse may feel, to make them feel appreciated, etc. Him doing this every single night is excessive and he is neglecting his wife/family. There has to be a reasonable middle ground.

You need to cook like his momma
Bless your heart. Better to be rewinding at mama’s instead of at a bar. Let him spend time with his mama, sounds like she’s a good cook too. I also think it would be great if you would go a few times a week too. And you said he’s there about an hour. As an older mom, that would mean the world to me.

I’d call mother in law and ask to give her a hand in the kitchen so you and kids could come too and do dinners with her as well. That way if that’s merely a cover-up excuse he’ll get caught

talk with him about it. if its to visit try going with him. To soon you will lose them .
That depends entirely on how old she is. If she’s over 85 I don’t think it’s right to complain. I remember my Noni got so lonely. Dinner with a loved one every night is great. Maybe you guys can invite her over do you can all have dinner. Having an elderly family member can be difficult, you’ve got to have more patience.
Under 85 though maybe see if she can make some friends doing group activities she likes so she doesn’t need to rely on her son for socializing. Then maybe he can go once or twice a week without either of them feeling bad.

Is she at the end of her life? If she’s receiving hospice then it’s something you need to work through as a family. Otherwise, you need to be higher on the priority list.

If it’s only an hour I don’t genuinely see the issue.
Just take it as an extra hour at work. He could maybe dine with you though and just sit with his mother while she ate. She’s a long time gone when she does. I’d give anything for one more hour with my MIL

Meet him at his mama and all war there!
From a wife of a husband that lost his mother and father in 2 years. I would say let him see his mama. We have 5 kids and I was a stay at home mom for several years and worked part time several years too. I looked forward to him getting home after work for dinner, help, companionship. But let me tell ya he passed the turn to go to his parents home everyday on the way home and since losing them besides the two years of him being lost afterwards he talks about how he wishes he would have turned and stopped to visit more often. Once they are gone you can’t get that time back . I lost my dad this yearly very quickly and I miss him every day !

I understand where you’re coming from. He created a family and that should be his priority. He should make time for his partner and children. But. He only has one mother for only so long… I do feel like the amount of time that frequently is a little much. I wouldn’t be thrilled about missing out so much time with my husband or my children missing out on that time either. I would talk about it with him. Let him know how you’re feeling. Come up with a compromise. Less days or less time. Maybe load the kids up and go join them. Have him bring her to your house for the night. Let her have time with her grandkids as well.

Have a talk with him about it and see what he says, orrrr…Go there one day before he gets off work, spend some time with his mama, she can also spend time with the kiddos too
