My wife doesn't like my mother, has banned her from the house and will not speak to her.
This is because one day she came home and found it slightly harder than usual to park in our 6 car driveway because my mum was picking up my brother to take him to the hospital as he had just come round on the kitchen floor after having an epileptic fit to find half his tongue missing.

She was parked for less than 2 minutes whilst she bundled him in to the car and only made it slightly harder than normal to park. Of course when my wife complained my mum got cross because she was picking up her son who was bleeding everywhere. My wife felt he was too old at 21 to have his mum running around after him. They called each other lots of names and haven't spoken since. Neither will apologise to the other.

I have kept well out of it. Mainly because I think my wife is being a cow about it but am scared of what she would do to me if I told her so.

Ouch!
You're married to her mate, if you are that scared of her I'd question why you were with her in the first place.

Testicles
These are a useful appendage, grow a pair and stand-up up to the harridan.

Yes, but....
...they are also a useful target for an enraged woman! It gives me the fear just thinking about it.

That is indeed
A cause for concern

And you're married to her... because?
Your wife is clearly being an arse. Grow a pair and stand up to her.

Hmm, minor inconvenience vs. medical emergency.
I think I know which one is being the twat. To be quite honest if you can't stand up to your wife when she's so obviously in the wrong you might as well get 'Welcome' tattooed on your forehead.

Really?
Is this the *whole* story? Your wife would have to be an extremely cold and callous woman to bitch about your mum's parking when she was picking up her son with half his tongue bitten off.

If it really is the case, I would not take out any life insurance.

Its the story
But the escalation to personal insults before either of them knew the facts is whats caused the feud. Its gone beyond "Shes parked in my drive" to "She called me a stupid fucking spoiled bitch"

I married her because I love her and she is absolutely fine in every other aspect except she's fallen out with my mum over something stupid.

If my mum had come out and said "sorry its a medical emergency" instead of "Oh fuck off you've got plenty of room" then perhaps the whole thing would have been fine. I personally prefer staying out of it and am nice to them both.

True, but in retrospect...
...I would have expected your wife to make allowances after the fact considering the circumstances and stress of the situation. I think 'Oh fuck off there's plenty of room' seems reasonable to me!

Not getting an enormous amount of sympathy are ya! :-) You big scaredy fanny-pipe! (Joking, I expect it's not that simple. You might want to start knocking the missus around though, so she stops taking liberties).

It's the old domestic violence versus domestic abuse argument again.
