Reply To: My Mother in Law's complaints

thanks for all the support everyone.

I was just wondering if anyone actually knows any source for this minhag aveilim business. Also perhaps today is different because it has become more normal?

Also, if i decide to encourage my children to wear their shoes around the house, does anyone have any practical ideas how to do it?

BTW, why is it so clear to everyone that kibud eim includes things that no relevance to her? My husband’s Rov told him thatkibud Eim only includes things that add to her respect or comfort.

Also, are there any halachic sources for using real plates?
