Mothers and sons

The role of a mother in a child's life is something that can not be replaced. She is instrumental in shaping up the child's character. But how far can a mother cling on to her child? Parents are a means to bring a new life in to this world. They have the responsibility to teach them to be a good human being. But they can not force the child to live the life they want them to lead.
Any individual needs his or her own space. So how much space does a married son need? He must know to balance his life between his parents and his own family. His own family is his wife and children. He has the responsibility to take care of his parents. A wife can not deny her husband that right. At the same time he should realise that his family needs his care too.
When a son doesn't know this balancing act, the parents take advantage. There are many children who forget their parents once they are married. But there are a few guys who love their parents unconditionally. At this point, there are not many parents who try to make their daughter in-law feel at home. She is some one who is always an outsider. Even when the daughter in-law tries to adjust in her new environment, the parents in-law don't let her.
Why do parents get their son married? Its to get him a partner who will stay with him all through his life. But how many parents let it become a reality? They try their mighty best to keep them apart.
Will there ever be a time when a daughter in-law will be welcomed as the daughter of the house too, the sisters in-law will treat her as their own sister? When this happens there won't be the question of space at all.
