Do you think it's odd that my husbands boss acts like she's his mother/wife/friend/boss?

Trust me on this: If your husband approaches his boss from a stand point of caring more about the business than his own stree level, he should be fine. For example, rather than telling his boss how annoying the guy's being, he may want to focus more on the complaints that he's gotten from the customers. \n   Don't forget that the reason that his boss opened the store was to make money, if your husband has PROOF that his boss is losing money because of his friend, the boss will be more likely to do something about it. \n   Also, your husband should let the decission rest completely on his bosses shoulders. Tell him NOT to suggest what needs to be done...let the boss figure it out on his own.\n  If all else fails, he can start handing out his boss' email and/or phone # to customers who complain, and ask them to register a FORMAL complaint with his boss. That way the pressure is off of him, and his point is still made.

In todays world you don't have to do anything because some men are so into their self that they think any woman would drop anything to do what they want.  You don't need to change anything about yourself, your stricken with that spiteful disease of being in shape and taking care of yourself and probably very attractive.  And sad to say your stuck with some cromagnums around you that put you in a very weird situation.  Even though he is your boss I would still keep your pride and let him know that somethings he does are uncomfortable to you not just because your married but in general.  If he is a real man he will accept that and move on.  Maybe you should have your husband stop in occasionally to pick you up for lunch or something to reiterate to this pin head that your happily married and he doesn't stand a chance lol

if the other employees are bringing the spouse than that would be nice of you to take her but business is business and she doesn't belong there unless she is part of that business herself and should know what is going on..........

I really like my boss alot! He's a good guy and realizes the hard work we all do....but geeze!.....The man is a "know it all" which is very irriating when you know he has no clue what he is talking about but displays that "know it all attitude". On day we were talking about giving birth....and there he was all up in the conversation like he has given birth before or something and telling us how it should be done! LOL!

I wouldnt worry about it if I where you althought it might make you furious let her think what she wants it's that type of gossip that might fill her less than fulfilling days so in fact your doing the old lady a favour by giving her something to do, Just as long as you and your hubby are straight in understanding the situation then every thing is cool cause at the end of the day he is your real family,under your roof in your bed is what matters the most of what is though of you.

I have found that it is usually best not to mix work life with personal life.  Sure, sometimes people get lucky and become friends through their jobs, and nothing bad happens.  But often the person you become "friends" with will try to take advantage of the situation, or worse, one day may get promoted and become your boss, creating an awkward situation.  Co-workers especially in an office) tend to be back-stabbers who will stop at nothing to get ahead.  They just might "accidentally" tell the boss about a mistake you made and corrected.  Or put you in a position you do not feel comfortable being in (lying to cover for them).  Or steal the promotion/raise that you were supposed to get.

Lol..lol.. Maybe he, like myself is confused in what heck you're talking about? Are you trying to get rid of him too? That's his mother, and honey, you might be treading deep water on this issue, and drive him away with her...lol

Speaking from experience, my current husband (32 yo) is the same and his mother....well I'm sure you understand .... bascially, it's not his mother, please listen when I say this...IT'S NOT HIS MOTHER....IT'S HIM! If he doesnt want to an adult and think and do for himself as an adult....he WILL NOT change. Do yourself a favor......move on!

You cant tell your boss to do anything,thats why they are the boss ,to tell you what to do.\nIf she tried that he would probably sack her.

My boss is truly psychotic.  He's one of the uglier people I've met in my life, but he throws his money around when he goes out so he has a new gold-digging girlfriend every week.  He really doesn't have as much money as he says he does after he's paid off his three ex-wives, so I guess the joke is on the gold-diggers.  The funniest thing is when he struts around the office bragging about all his girlfriends ~ he really thinks he's hot!

He act like a woman... I think...

yes, you need to approach him since your female boss isn't helping at all.  let him know that you have asked for information that would help you do your job and never got anything numerous times.  don't talk bad about her.  just let him know how you feel about it.

girl, i feel your pain. i have the mother-in-law blues as well.  she shouldnt be so intrusive and pushy. my fiance and i just had a falling out with his mother. our lives are so peaceful when they dont talk. i dont know how close your husband is with his mother, but there are lines you just dont cross and shes just testing you out. i dont know if your a blunt person or not like me, but you and your husband can both say it her so that she understands its the two of you who feel this way. not just you. you have every right to feel uncomfortable about someone knowing your finances and business period. but first talk to your husband before you talk to her. good luck.

i have a similer problem at my work. she is always talking about other people and the way that they do things. she wants everybody to do it her way.one day i had had enough of her and i politly told her that everybody is not the same, as long as you do the job and do it the right way, whats the difference., as long as the job gets done. we talked for quite awile on how people do things. it kind of opened her up to new ideas on the job.

Yeah! These people are aTTACKers, aren't they...but helpful, too. Don't delete your question because I'ma watchin' it, girlfriend!\nWell, I say if he has the NERVE to check you on YOUR DAILY WORK, then you can get that same nerve.  \n\nThat is the trade-off, right.  And he wouldn't want to switch with you.  Tell him on a Saturday morning or a day off to track what the heck he does all day! Projects take longer than men think.  I like to get everything done in the 1st two hours of of the morning hustlin. Then, no matter what I do it's just done and the happy husbands off\nmy friggin' back.  \n\nTell him if you spent as much time cleaning up after HIM as you \ndid on the other household, necessary daily chores, he'd HAVE\nthe neat, sparkly perfect home he desired.  He'll get mad, that's just that tender little species of fragility and gentleness called\nTHE MALE EGO.\n\nTo those people who are working do NOT assume SAHM is\na dream job.  Its not for lazy bums.  Not the hardest work, \nbut important and challenging, more than you'd think.

First of all, i'd like to say that all bosses are not like that, but the "crazy ones" make up a greater percentage. \n\nI used to have a boss like that in my former office but all I found out when I left was that God put me there to learn PATIENCE, and that is helping me today in my relating with my boss in my new place of work.\n\nYou have to understand that it isn't every body that is like you. A lot of people come to work with a lot of problems from their homes, and, they transfer it to you; only if you are sensitive to that, then you will be able to work better with him/her.\nTIPS:\n(1)Try to please them and be so caring (especially if it's a woman) by asking "how was your night" or "how is your family", and you'll see that the person will soften up and even begin to confide in you. \n(2)Smile always with them.\n(3)Flatter them.\n(4)Always try to please them: because you don't know how much they stay awake all through the night strategising on the next business moves that will yield your next salary. Remember, someday you will be a boss too.\n\nThink about it. With this you should have a better relationship with your boss.
