Dilemma - torn between my wife and my mother
I'm married with kids and living with my mother (father passed away recently). I think I'm doing my best to take care of my mother but she feels I am not giving her as much attention and care as i should have. She also feels that my wife is deliberately harassing her and conspiring against her so I take my wife's side more than my mother's. Though i think nothing like this is happening but my mother is feeling insecure and lonely and I don't know what I can do to diffuse the tension keeping both my mother and wife happy.

The family that comes from you is ALWAYS more important than the family you come from. Ask your mother to stop acting childish. Take her to join park yoga groups, satsang groups,etc activities that the older generation does. So she has something to do. She should not be dependent only on you for validation. Let her make friends her own age
Actively listen and validate your mother's feelings . Kind off give her reassurance you are always there for her always . Have a positive interaction with her .
Tell your wife to act with maturity .. and stop cribbing about it
