Awareness MiL
I feel like this might be the right group to ask this. I’m raising a wonderful son, and I want to be intentional about the kind of man he grows up to be. I know the way I raise and treat him can influence how he shows up in his future relationships.
For those of you who’ve had challenges with a mother-in-law, what are some things you wish she had taught her son—or things you wish she had done differently while raising him or how she acts?

I wish she wouldn't try to go behind my back asking him for money but not to tell me(he always tells me), respecting his wishes and not assuming I'm the one requesting them (like not smoking inside out house with a newborn) he made that rule before I even had a chance to mention it. I wish she taught him that it's okay to have emotions and discuss things with me, she calls him weak for crying when our baby was born. Generations change and people are different so I think the best thing to do would be accepting his choice and supporting him through it all.
Teaching their sons about toxic masculinity and emotional intelligence.
TM is so dangerous… it eats the souls of little boys.
Raise him to be an adult and do chores. Dont make him entitled to women’s labor or bodies
