Why mothers-in-law got reputations

As a meddling mother-in-law-to-be, 
Can't help but keep a clutch on my baby.
That's my baby boy we're talking about!
No matter he's a man inside & out.
From Oedipus complex to Adam's rib,
I'm just starting to grasp how hard it is
To give my son away to another –
Who, it must be said, is not his mother!
But it may also be said, I did scheme
He'd marry him the woman of my dreams.
I see now through my own machinations
Why mothers-in-law got reputations!
Meddle, middle, maddle – why can't I stop?
I ask while thickening another plot.
