That is a point, Godschild. Standing his ground will probably make Thomas and his wife even more miserable, though on the plus side it would probably make the mom-in-law more miserable too.
Thomas, I'm curious what your wife's beliefs may be. God help you if they align with mom's. Does her mom's pushy closemindedness piss your wife off? If so, you might try fanning those flames. Take her mom's side and maybe the mrs. will take yours. "Honey, I'm thinking maybe I really have been unreasonable. Afterall, your mom just wants what she thinks is best for me. Maybe I should give up thinking for myself. What do you think?"
