[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry for your situation, but I think you are trying to make your problem a greater societal issue. I have not read any literature, nor have I seen from personal experience that ILs as a group expect DILs as a group to have prestigious careers, raise the perfect children, entertain whenever they want, etc. Moreover, even if that were true, I'm not sure that would be a feminist issue. It is just an issue. Sure, I think it is common to have problems with ILs, but that is just a natural problem with mixing families and the resultant power struggle. MILs are used to things one way and DILs are used to things another. If anything, there is a stereotype that MILs do NOT want the DIL to have career and subscribe to the "barefoot and pregnant" mentality. What you are going through is not uncommon, but your situation is not universal, nor is your particular situation the norm.[/quote]
