[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just don't engage in the kitchen. Feed your kids and get out. Do your own dishes and don't leave a mess. Send your DH in from the pool to offer to help. Make him engage in the dinner dishes while you "put the kids to bed". Take many steps back. My brother's wife sometimes drives me nuts on vacation because she doesn't pitch in with the dishes much. But it's also really how she operates. She would prefer to eat out much more than we do, or at least much less formally. So I try to remember she's already putting in a lot of effort just BEING there and not sweat the details so much.[/quote] Why does it matter what SIL is doing if your brother is doing the family’s share?[/quote]
