Anger in family ties

How easy can it be for a son to tell his mother she has gone too far with her daughter in law? Who is the son supposed to believe? His mother or his wife? This a common problem, everyone may be confronted to this, but still a dilemma which stems from a problem about furniture is not exactly a real problem between mothers and sons - and yet it is in this novel and anger, jealousy are very well put. Very Jamesian.
