June 4, -- Sheri Petteys says her mother couldn't stop criticizing her — even on her deathbed. The terminally ill woman, who was legally blind and could never realize her dream of being a nurse, had raised Petteys on her own after her husband died young, and hoped her daughter might fulfill the ambition denied her, Petteys said. But that path never called to Petteys, and as her mother lay dying, the older woman found fault even in how Petteys handled the crank to adjust her bed, she said. It's a sort of frustration and disappointment that experts agree nearly all of us struggle with when parents' expectations don't match the reality of their offspring, and that disappointment can be a major problem, lingering even to the edge of death in Petteys' mother's case.

Mr. and Mrs. Mom and Dad: What to Call the In-Laws
Research and opinion polls demonstrate that attitudes toward same-gender parent families have been improving in recent years among Western countries; however, the history of oppression toward, and misconceptions about, same-gender parent families continue to be demonstrated in Australian family rights policies. Common misconceptions include the belief that children need both male and female role models, and this could be influencing peoples' support for same-gender family rights and having a wider impact on legislation change. Yet a dearth of research exists exploring a connection between gender role beliefs and support for same-gender family rights using a broad international sample, including Australia. Regression analysis demonstrated that people with traditional beliefs about gender norms were more likely to endorse a negative attitude toward same-gender marriage and same-gender parenting. Findings suggest a link between socially prescribed gender norms and prejudice toward same-gender parent families that may be fueling arguments against same-gender family rights policies.
What do you call your new in-laws? And why does it feel like the rules are changing? Traditionally, "Mom" and "Dad" were what you called your new parents-in-law.
