[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When these people help, do you fuss at how they do it?[/quote] OP here, not at all. When she does pitch in on occasion I'm very grateful, genuinely. BIL put clean dishes away this weekend and put some wrong and I didn't say a word. Fil doesn't lift a dish in his own house so it would be earth shattering to have him clear a dish here. That said he's very handy and has fixed a lot around our house with dh this weekend and yes, I'm very grateful and have expressed that to him. The pp who said she did her time, I think you hit it on the nose. I wonder if her mother was doted on when mil was a young mother and so she expects the same treatment? Honestly I am letting it go (it used to irritate me a lot more when my kids were babies and not preschoolers and I desperately needed the help). Hotel stay isn't an option. And if she offered I would probably tell her to sit and relax. Still curious how it works in others' houses![/quote]
