[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much of this is family dependent and I would not take it upon myself to " correct" others dynamics unless I was specifically asked for advice.

You can do whatever works for you and your family.

I will say that not every instance is negative in some cases [b]this is how the women of the family bond[/b] and welcome the married ins and how you learn a lot about your new family.

If someone's idea of "bonding" is sending me a list of chores to do and things to buy, predicated on the fact that I have a vagina, thanks but no thanks![/quote]

+100. DH’s family tried to “assimilate” me and literally can’t even remember the names of my siblings or a single detail about me as a person. They tried to make me the point person for their holidays and vacations. Nope! You can talk to DH about all that. I’ll show up and will actively watch my kids, but other than that, I’m relaxing and you can get DH to do the dishes on my behalf even though in your family that is “women’s work.” I take care of logistics, food, clean-up and chores when we’re with my family, he does all that with his family.
