[quote=Anonymous]Is anyone in a marriage or do you belong to a family or culture, where it happens that the wife does so much for the husband and is so opiniated about how things should be done, that the husband just can’t (or won’t) do simple things anymore? And then the cycle perpetuates because the wife is like OMG it’s just faster for me to make this grilled cheese and set the table, get out of the way; but then the wife ends up huffy along the lines of OMG I’m constantly doing something, once he parks himself at the dinner table, he’s not even going to get up to get a fork. Admittedly the husband IS super inefficient at doing things, but I think that’s in no small part because he’s had a wife mothering him for years and years, so he’s never had to be efficiently doing things.

This is DH’s family and I’m losing my mind in our few days of visiting bc of MIL’s constant complaining and their constant bickering about how FIL does nothing but then MIL also won’t step back because heaven forbid he make his own sandwich “the wrong way.” Nothing that we can do here, right?

And looking a few decades down the road with a DH whose seen dad be like this – I should just step back and let him unload the dishwasher, make sandwiches, do laundry etc. right because I have no interest in being his housekeeper?
