[quote=Anonymous]My sis dropped my neice of with my parents this week, so I decided to visit also. My neice is the apple of my moms eye and the sweetest little toddler ever. My dad is a nice guy but sadly after he comes home from work he drinks.  Their dinner dynamic is truly shocking. He sits and drinks and orders her to make literally four to five different dishes for dinner.  Like, "heat up that pasta" and then "make me an omelette with lightly buttered toast."  Times 5 dishes. Tonight at "dinner" my dad finished eating and my mom settled down with neice for story time, which both of them LOVE.  Even my jerky dad can see how precious story time is. So when he decided he wasn't actually finished with dinner, he starts ordering ME to produce this food for him. I kind of sensed my moms sadness that he started up again, so I got him his food.  My question is, for the time we are in town should I just go along and get along? Or should I refuse to go along with with crappy behavior. My mom has made her bed and must lie in it, but I can just tell him that I'm not going to do it. It will cause strife. My mom will have to abandon her beloved story time with neice if I don't help her out. It is just for a few days wwyd??[/quote]
